  • Summary

  • Sarah speaks with author Peter Kageyama to discuss his gripping novel, Midnight Climax. Set in post-war San Francisco, this noir-inspired mystery follows Kats Takemoto, a nisei private detective, as he investigates a harrowing murder in Chinatown. A young Chinese girl is killed in a secret CIA-run brothel, and the ramifications of her death threaten to ignite a war between rival Chinatown gangs.

    Kats, a seasoned detective with deep ties to the city’s underworld, must navigate a labyrinth of gang politics, personal vendettas, and government secrets to uncover the truth. As he dives deeper into the case, Kats learns that the suspected killer is a fellow war veteran—one whose tragic past has turned him into a dangerous, unpredictable weapon. Can Kats and his allies stop the looming violence before it consumes Chinatown and the city beyond?

    Tune in to hear Sarah and Peter Kageyama talk about the inspiration behind Midnight Climax, the impact of historical events on the storyline, and the challenges of writing a thriller packed with intense action, rich characters, and ethical dilemmas. This conversation offers a fascinating exploration of crime fiction, the intersection of history and storytelling, and what it means to confront your past while solving a dangerous mystery.
