Another author, Sarah Joh Rowland, writes about a Japanese detective - Sano Ichiro - in the 17th century during the Tokugawa shogunate.

Very good tight stories mixed with accurate historical and social coloring.

I haven't read the last six, yet. I read them in order, because the first five or six were in a kind of arc, though each book stands alone.

Rowlands is also a history scholar and wrote the best book I've read on Korean History and has written a couple of high class bodice rippers, too - though I haven't read them.

Highly recommend both authors.

Smith has written other books than about Renco, too - Stallion Gate about White Sand, NM atomic bomb facilities, another great mystery book.
