Путь предателя

Nagasaki. Edinstvennyĭ v I͡Aponii gorod, gde pozvoleno prozhivatʹ inostrant͡sam. No vstupatʹ v lichnyĭ kontakt s evropeĭskimi 'varvarami' - gollandskimi torgovt͡sami i mori͡akami - i͡apont͡sam strogo zapreshcheno. Takov zakon vremën ėpokhi sëgunov Tokugava. Togo, kto narushit zapret, zhdet obvinenie v gosudarstvennoĭ izmene i pozornai͡a kaznʹ. No sosakan sëguna (sledovatelʹ po osobo vazhnym delam) Sano Isiro, okazavshiĭsi͡a v Nagasaki v pochetnoĭ ssylke iz-za proiskov nedobrozhelateleĭ, otchai͡anno stremitsi͡a pogovoritʹ s varvarami. I vse potomu, chto tolʹko emu pod silu raskrytʹ krovavoe prestuplenie i predotvratitʹ voĭnu, kotorui͡u gotovy razvi͡azatʹ gollandt͡sy, esli cherez dva dni͡a im ne prinesut... golovu ubiĭt͡sy odnogo iz ikh sootechestvennikov.

Nagasaki. The only city in Japan where foreigners are allowed to live. But it is strictly forbidden for the Japanese to come into personal contact with European "barbarians" - Dutch merchants and sailors. This is the law of the Tokugawa Shogun era. Anyone who violates the ban will be charged with high treason and a shameful execution. But sosakan shogun (investigator for particularly important cases) Sano Ishiro, who found himself in honorable exile in Nagasaki because of the machinations of ill-wishers, is desperate to talk to the barbarians. And all because only he can solve a bloody crime and prevent a war that the Dutch are ready to unleash if they don't get it in two days... the head of the murderer of one of their compatriots.
