Jericho Point comes home, and Mission Canyon hits the road.
The Japanese edition of Jericho Point has just arrived. I love the design of the Japanese covers. And the books are the perfect size to slip into a pocket, so you can easily read on a train commute or a flight.
And Dave sends a new photo of Mission Canyon from the Japanese bookstore in San Francisco’s Japantown. He notes: “Looking for your name under the Japanese alphabet is no joke,” but it “does make me feel like all those years studying Japanese paid off.”
Dave: I’m so glad I could help you put your language skills to work, even if it tested your patience.
He adds that he and his mom picked up the book for his 88-year-old grandfather, “as thrillers are his cup of tea.”
That’s what I love to hear.
Love that JP cover. The split through the title (at least I assume it’s the title and not your name, Meg), the raging sea around the rocks. Very nice.
“…thrillers are his cup of tea.” Perfect paradox, Dave. I picture a cosy chair and a nice edgy thriller.

I’m curious to know what word they used for Jericho, because it’s not transliterated (like your name) into katakana… But my kanji vocab is quite limited.
Oh! I just figured out the other katakana prominently featured on the front of the bottom picture: Edogaa . . . as in an Edgar winner! Cool
Thanks for translating. I love it.
