Summary:

Early today, several hours before my arrest, I used to be woken by an earth tremor. I mention the incident never to suggest that there is a connection – that somehow the problem lines in my life emerged crashing collectively in a kind of a couple of policemen – for in Tokyo we’ve a quake such as this on a monthly basis. I am just relating the series of events as it happened. It has been an unusual time and I would hate to ignore anything .

So begins The Earthquake Bird, a haunting book occur Japan about The Earthquake Parrot which uncovers a murder on its first page and took its readers into the brain of the principle suspect, Lucy Take a flight – a young, vulnerable English girl living and employed in Tokyo being a translator. As Lucy can be interrogated by the police she reveals her previous to the audience, and it is a past which is certainly dangerously ambiguous and diminishing . . .

Why do Lucy leave England for the international anonymity of Japan a decade before, and what exactly had prompted her to sever all links with her family members back? She was the last person to see the murdered girl alive, so why was she no more forthcoming about the conditions of their last conference? As Lucy’s story unfolds, it emerges that secrets, both past and present, obsess her waking existence . . .
