As usual, subplots abound, but the main storyline is this (no spoilers here since all this is laid out in the first 2 chapters):
Jack is hired to find a stolen samurai sword – a katana. The victim can’t go to he cops because the blade was stolen in 1955 from the Hiroshima Peace Museum. The blade is damaged, pocked with holes, but it was made by the renowned ancient swordsmith Masamune.
Turns out Jack’s not the only one looking for it. (Lots of blasts from the past in this one)
So...can anyone come up with something better than Cutting Edge? Since the katana is the plot's maguffin, the title must make some reference to a blade.
As with Lisa and Harbinbgers, you'll be credited in print for the title if I use it.[/SIZE]
