"Mrs. Clara Byers, the pregnant mother of four, was widowed in June 1924 when her husband George, a Presbyterian missionary, was murdered, in a botched kidnapping, at Kachek, in the interior of Hainan Island, off the south coast of China. The murder set off an extraterritoriality incident which quickly became a conundrum in which American, British, and Chinese officials; Mrs. Byers, her friends, and relatives; and church organizations in China and America all tried to decide how to enforce American treaty rights, protect mission interests, and provide support for the Byers family. Based on American and British consular archives and those of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and members of the Hainan mission, this is the story of how Mrs. Byers and her ally, Mrs. Mabel Roys, the sole woman on the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions (BFM), successfully got the government and their church to take action."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Edo, the capital of Japan, 1907. Helen Motosu is in deep mourning after the death of her husband, private investigator Shigeru Motosu. Restricted to caring for her young children and keeping her brother-in-law from his self-destructive habits, Helen feels stagnated and unchallenged. Until the charismatic Mitsuo Okabe, one of Edo's mayors, requests the Motosus' help in solving the murder of his brother, an energy scientist working on a solar-powered bullet train. The main suspect is a Russian prostitute who was with Dr. Okabe the night he died. Mayor Okabe knows that his brother had enemies in the city, rivals in the development of new energy technologies. The Russian girl refuses to cooperate with the Japanese police, but Mayor Okabe hopes that a foreign woman can convince her to reveal what she witnessed that night. Helen has never actively investigated anything on her own. To solve this crime, she must navigate Japan's scientific circles while maintaining her own precarious social position. Without her, an innocent young woman could lose her life, and a violent murderer will be free to kill again. WIDOW'S WEEDS is the first in an alternate history mystery series set in Japan. Set in a "steampunk-lite" timeline, the world of the Motosu Mysteries is slightly different from our own. Steam-power and clockwork are giving way to new technologies such as solar-power and electro-power. Imagine the world of Sherlock Holmes combined with a Ghibli movie, and you're quite close to the setting and tone of the Motosu Mysteries series.
