A serial killer in Japan is collecting heads. An unlikely pair of journalists try not to lose theirs.

Portland Book Review calls headless by Tristrim Low, a captivating mystery with just the right touch of paranormal, five stars.

Reader's favorite says it's a delicious blend of murder mystery and horror mixed with Japanese folklore, five stars.

Akio is a low-level staff photographer at a Tokyo newspaper. When a serial killer starts chopping off heads, he sees a chance to prove himself.

It never occurs to him he'd find himself in the path of a monster.

Masami is a top staff writer on the police beat. She'll stop at nothing to get the scoop on the serial killer. If only Akio would get out of her way.

As the two struggle to get along, the investigation points toward a local kendo instructor. Is the old mysterious man guilty? Or is there something supernatural going on?

Akio and Masami soon realize that the price for getting the story may be their own heads.
