In Tokyo Tempos, award-winning mystery writer Michael Pronko explores the mystery of everyday Tokyo life. He draws on his thirty years of living, writing, and teaching in Japan to delve into what it's like to live with Japanese food, seasons, ceremonies, rules, and trains.

The pithy, pointed writings in Tokyo Tempos offer a reminder of how even huge cities like Tokyo live and breathe with the loves, hopes, pleasures, and puzzling meanings of the people who live there.

Tokyo Tempos is the fourth in the Tokyo Moments Series.

As for the Detective Hiroshi series set in Tokyo: "If there's a better crime series set in Japan, I've not yet read it." Crime Thriller Hound

"The city of Tokyo is very much a character in its own right. It's not the tourist hotspots we see, but the real city with the food and drink which the locals consume. It's glorious." The Bookbag review of Tokyo Traffic.

BookLife Review wrote that Pronko's sixth novel, Shitamachi Scam, "does as good a job of taking us on a trip through Tokyo as Simenon does through Inspector Maigret's Paris." So, join Pronko on an enlightening non-fictional trip through Tokyo.
