I wrote this book as an homage to my father Sam Phillips, at one time a P.I. himself. The cover I picked myself depicting the tatoos of a Yakuza gangster. The title represents the philosophy of the samurai code for the warrior way, the meaning of the word bushido. It took approximate 8 months to write this story and the readers are primarily lovers of hard boiled detective enthusiasts who follow writers like Elmore Leonard, James Patterson, and Walter Mosely.
