A Taste Of Poison (Tokyo MPD Mysteries #4)

Time is running out for homicide detectives Hayashi Teruo and Miyazaki Shinji.

The protective wards on Teruo’s soul have faded out and Shinji returns to Hiroshima to dive into his mother’s mysterious past in a desperate attempt to save Teruo.

A bitter meeting with his estranged grandparents leads Shinji toward a potential solution. Back in Tōkyō, Teruo is drawn into a chilling investigation of four murders and an eerie crime scene.

As Shinji discovers the terrifying extent of the killer’s powers, the Onmyōryō is sabotaging him in order to hide the threat against the entire community of supernaturals.

With the investigation going in circles and Teruo’s soul weakening, Teruo and Shinji face a choice: gamble with the organization they spent so much time evading or lose everything.
