Sinopsis

This thriller “weaves together historical strands, contemporary killers, and the feats of [an elite police team] in a gripping, tense, and exciting climax.” —Hellnotes   A war criminal and the head of Japan’s organized crime, Genjo Tokuda wants nothing more than to avenge the murder of his family during the WWII bombing of Hiroshima. He has waited more than fifty years to enact his plan to kill the family of the surviving American airman responsible for the attack. When his prey is invited to speak at a convention for Pacific War Vets in Vancouver, he knows his opportunity for revenge has finally arrived.   Corporal Jackie Hett of the Special X team of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will do anything to protect her grandfather, a crewman of the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. It’s up to her and her fellow Mounties to put a stop to the all-powerful samurai gangster before he strikes.   “A virtuoso breakout by Slade.” —Jack Whyte, bestselling author of the Camulod Chronicles   “With its strong emotional resonance, Kamikaze is a passionate indictment of the lies of wartime. It’s intense, and easily capable of keeping a reader up into the wee hours.” —The Vancouver Sun   “Slade is all about procedure, feeding our endless appetite for the inner workings of the police. . . . War itself comes off as the most murderous of serial killers.” —The Georgia Straight

    The grounds of Camp Havenside look innocent enough — a chapel and worship pavilion, cleanly separated girls and boys cabins, and a lush forest surrounding it that, when the sun falls, goes still and undisturbed with a strange quietude. 
    Suffering from a crisis of faith, Sam, a young church-going teenager, accompanies his youth group to the long-undisturbed Camp Havenside to seek spiritual enlightenment. What he finds is something very, very different. As all supposed virtues and sacraments are perverted in brutal, bodily horrors, so creeps the approach of something that has slept in the secret folds of a cloistered Christian church camp for generations — waiting for someone to haunt.
