About The House of the East by Paulo Guinter
World War II, 1942.
After the infamous Japanese attack on the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, which thrust the United States into the war, the White House vowed swift and decisive retaliation—a blow that would echo across the Pacific and shake the very core of the Imperial Japanese government.
The mission was entrusted to Officer William O’Brian of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). His task: to train and insert a Japanese American agent deep into enemy territory, on a high-risk mission—to eliminate Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the brilliant strategist behind the Pearl Harbor assault.
But where could such a man be found, when Americans of Japanese descent were being rounded up and confined in “relocation centers” scattered along the West Coast?
Meanwhile, in the heart of Tokyo, within the velvet shadows of the House of the East—the city’s most luxurious and traditional ochaya (cabaret)—two beautiful geishas set into motion a plan born of vengeance. Their scheme would pit powerful factions of the imperial elite against each other, opening a path for the American mission to succeed. Along the way, one would find redemption; the other, a love she never dared to dream of—both their fates forever changed.
This is the tale of Dazai Mishima, America’s emissary—sent to strike the heart of a warring empire.
