Book Description:
It's Tough to Keep Cool When the Heat Is On
Japanese-American Rei Shimura finally has a life to be proud of in Tokyo: running her own antiques business and living with her Scottish lawyer boyfreind. But when Rei overpays for a beautiful chest of drawers, she's in for the worst deal of her life. The con man who sold her the Tansu is found dead, and like it or not Rei's opened a pandora's box of mystery, theft, and murder.
Only Rei sees the Tansu as the key. It will take a quick wit, fast feet, and above all a Zen Attitude for Rei to discover what a young monk, a judo star, and an ancient scroll have in common, and why her own life hangs in the balance.
Sujata Massey is an exciting new author published by HarperPaperbacks. Massey's first novel, The Salaryman's Wife, has just been nominated for the prestigious Anthony Award. Massey's second novel, Zen Attitude, also featuring Rei Shimura, a 27 year-old Japanese American English teaching living in Tokyo, will be out in June 1998.

CM C. (The main character Rei Shimura always seems to be fighting with her Scottish boyfriend, not really fitting in to the Japanese way of life, and on the look out for Japanese antiques. This book is no exception. I do love the way the author has an authentic feel of the environment.
good book...second in the series I think...wanting to read the rest...easy read and entertaining.
ZEN ATTITUDE by Sujata Massey Rei Shimura has found herself a new Scottish lawyer boyfriend and a new profession as a Tokyo-based, Japanese-American freelance antiques buyer. She finds herself with an overpriced, ersatz Edo-period tansu. Bad karma comes with this to-die-for chest of drawers, and Rei becomes, in rapid succession, murder suspect, then murder target. Confused, Rei runs from her boyfriend and takes refuge on the grounds of the famous Zen temple Horin-ji. She must now discover what a young monk, a judo star and an ancient scroll have in common in order to save her life.
