Rising Sun

On the forty-fifth floor of the Nakamoto Tower in downtown L. A. a grand opening celebration is in full swing at the new American headquarters of the immense Japanese conglomerate. On the forty-sixth floor, in an empty conference room, the dead body of a beautiful woman is discovered. The investigation immediately becomes a thrilling chase through a twisting maze of industrial intrigue, a no-holds barred conflict in which control of a vital American technology is the fiercely coveted prize - and the Japanese saying 'business is war' takes on a terrifying reality.

Rising Sun is a powerful, compulsive thriller from a master of the genre.

Reviews

Dazzling ... A bravura performance ... As well built a thrill machine as a suspense novel can be

The combination of Japan-bashing and murder mystery makes for provocative reading

Crichton pulls off a slick thriller at a cracking pace

—— Mike Ripley , Daily Telegraph

Engrossing and memorably exciting

—— Anthony Quinton , Evening Standard

A great storyteller who knows how to make sure that the reader has to turn the pages out of a desperate need to find out what is going to happen next.

—— John Mortimer , Sunday Times

Unequalled ability to build a sustain suspense

—— Peter Guttridge , Observer

Remarkable . . . genuinely clever and learned, often funny, brilliantly constructed and surprisingly touching . . . a debut of scintillating intelligence and scope.
