Anyway, good site serving as a good map to find something in the Crime/Mystert domain on the WEB... and more. I always wondered if HB was well represented by Japanese writers publishing in Japanese? I do not think there are many translations...(?) Could you inform about HB in your country. >From my very restricted knowledge of modern japanese literature everything is there to produce real HB (Japanese style. of course)... The only thing misssing is maybe the public of interested readers? Maybe I'm wrong? What about authors having been translated into English. Thanks for informing us.
