...author of some 50 books, she is more prolific than Kirino, although only one previous work has been translated into English. That's The Hunter, a fetching police procedural that follows Detective Takako Otomichi as she struggles to prove her mettle and earn the respect of her loutish male counterparts in the Tokyo police force's insular Criminal Affairs Division. The whodunit won Nonami the 1996 Naoki Prize, awarded for general literary excellence and nabbed in subsequent years by Kirino and fellow mystery writer Miyabe Miyuki, proving that all three women write with rather more virtuosity than the average potboiler...

...Albright Effect Thank you for Publishing Madeleine Albright's brilliant insights [Jan. 21]. I've been a lawyer in private practice for 25 years.
