FYI: The title of the book that is set in Japan is RANSOM.  Don't know the

I agree with Paul about IRON AND SILK.  But the author's name is Mark
Salzman.  Mark Singer wrote CITIZEN K, which was dreadful.  But the stuff
he writes for The New Yorker is wonderful.

P.S. Two personal faves: Patrick McGrath's THE GROTESQUE, which is gothic
horror at its finest; and PERFUME, by Patrick Susskind,
