Join Edgar Award–winning author, Naomi Hirahara, for a presentation on her newest historical mystery novel Crown City. Crown City is the story of a young carpenter from Yokohama who is dispatched to Pasadena, California in 1903, only to find himself completely disoriented in a western world obsessed with all things Japanese. Of course, since this is a mystery, there are a series of crimes, including an art theft and the discovery of a dead body.

Crown City will be released on February 17, 2026 and will be available in the JANM Store.
