Summary:
In Dec 1941, America is reeling in the brutal attack on Pearl Harbor. Both patriotism and paranoia grip New York as the town frantically mobilizes for war. Nurse Louise Hunter can be outraged when the FBI, within a midnight sweep of prominent Japanese citizens, storms directly into arrest her patient’s wife. The desperately ill Teacher Oakley is married to musician Masako Fumi. The nurse vows to greatly help the professor free of charge Masako. But when the murdered body of Masako’s art dealer is found out in the gallery where he’d been closing down her controversial show, Masako’s troubles multiply. Homicide detective Michael McKenna uncertainties her guilt, but an ambitious government man plans to lever the homicide and ensuing espionage accusations right into a political cause célèbre.
Struggling to focus on one man’s murder while America plunges into a worldwide war, Louise and McKenna defy both racism and ham-fisted authorities agents in order to expose the true killer.
