If your mother told you her mother committed suicide because the man who impregnated her deserted her while she was pregnant, and you learned from computer research who he is and where he is-a bank president living in La Jolla, California-the thought of finding him and slashing him open with the same dagger (tanto) your grandmother used to take her life is only natural... and that's what Mikiko Ohara thinks. This is the spellbinding story of what happens when she travels from the country of Mt. Fuji to the location of Mt. Soledad to find Lance Barwick. Some of Mikiko's plans take shape better than expected, but others twist and turn in different directions, especially sexually.
