An outstanding debut - The most awaited books of 2017, Sunday Express

A twisty, highly entertaining thriller that pulls us into the heart of an unconventional hero as he fights corruption in the gritty, glittering world of Tokyo - Julia Heaberlin, author of Sunday Times bestseller, Black-Eyed Susans

Poetic, chilling and mesmerizing storytelling - Ragnar Jónasson, internationally bestselling author of, Snowblind

This beautifully written debut takes readers on a captivating and atmospheric journey around Tokyo with plenty of twists to keep them gripped until the epic conclusion - Daily Express

With its Japanese setting and characters, Blue Light Yokohama offers up a bold and refreshingly different take on the serial killer tale - Simon Beckett

Obregón is a bright, sophisticated new voice in crime fiction: his writing sings at you, reverberates, makes you consider more than just the urgent clamour of his novel's well-hewn murder plot. In Inspector Iwata, he has created a quiet, troubled hero whom readers will be sure to follow from one disturbing, atmospheric story to the next - Benjamin Wood, author of, The Ecliptic

Obregon's full-bodied prose is by turns gritty and poetic, and it's consistently energetic. Given the terrific chemistry between the two lead detectives, here's hoping this debut novel kicks off a new series - Kirkus Review

Refreshing. Engaging. - Daily Mail
