Dale Furutani has twelve books published between 1996 and 2021, spread across two mystery series, an anthology contribution, and a couple of standalones. The Ken Tanaka series started things off with Death in Little Tokyo in 1996 and The Toyotomi Blades the following year. The Matsuyama Kaze series, which appears to be set in historical Japan based on its titles, is larger with seven entries running from 1998’s Death at the Crossroads through The Ronin Returns in 2021. Some titles in that series appear in foreign-language editions alongside their English versions.
His standalone works include The Curious Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in Japan from 2011 and Makoto from 2021, both of which suggest a continued interest in Japanese settings and culture. Furutani’s publishing history shows a long gap between the early 2000s and his return in 2011, followed by another pause before his 2021 releases.
