The Ninja Murders

by Andrew B. Suhrer

Overview

The Ninja Murders Commodore Matthew Perry's expedition to Japan in 1853 was one of history's defining moments. His visit ended over two-hundred years of self-imposed isolation and precipitated the fall of the Shogunate. It was also the moment that gave birth to Japanese ambitions to rule East Asia and the Western Pacific. America's desire to increase its international standing inadvertently opened a Pandora's Box that would lead to no less than five wars, including World War II. However, The Ninja Murders is not a history book. It's a novel of historical fiction. And as every fan of the genre knows, behind every great historical event, there is a hero deeply enmeshed in intrigue, danger and romance. Samurai, swords and sex! Another page-turner from Andrew Suhrer. Not only do we get a well-researched story, but an incredibly entertaining one at that. Praise for Andrew B. Suhrer's The Flying Dutchmen "Surreal, stunning, heartwarming and magnificent..." Maggie Carter de Vries, Author: Amelia's Secrets. "Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down." Annette Myers, Author: Shrinking Sands of an African American Beach. "A wonderfully researched and written book, a real page turner to the very end. I could not put it down, the characters literally jump off the page as each battle on the field and crisis in daily life was fought."

About the Author

Andrew B. Suhrer lives in Coos Bay, Oregon with his wife, Mary Jo. A life-long history buff and avid reader of history and fiction, Andy is known for his cheerful disposition and outgoing personality. Andy was born in Long Beach, California in 1958 and has lived at various times in almost every region of the United States. He was a deck hand on a tugboat out of Buffalo, New York and a motor lifeboat coxswain at Cape Disappointment, Washington, while serving in the Coast Guard. Over the years he has worked as a clerk, ditch digger, bathtub maker, camera repair technician, machinist, foundry mechanic, volunteer woodshop instructor and stay at home dad. He is also a writer of some considerable and diverse experience, starting with a prize for a poetry contest in middle school and awards for journalism in high school. He has written children's stories, camera repair manuals, machining and assembly instructions for steam engine kits, sermons, newspaper articles and a long-running humor column. With the last of his three children gone from his house, Andy was able to have enough time with the computer to fulfill his ambition of writing a novel. That work, The Flying Dutchmen, was first published in 2008. Bitten by the writing bug, Andy immediately set about writing his second novel; The Ninja Murders. Both Andy and Mary Jo are avid practitioners of martial arts and have been awarded black belts from the International Sanjuriu Association. Andy presently holds a first level black belt in Jujitsu and a second level black belt in Karate.
