- Summary:
- "Subduction is a timely, seductive mystery set on a tiny, earthquake-plagued island off the coast of Japan. Endo, a young physician unjustly charged with a patient's death, is banished to the island to care for the few remaining elderly residents. Determined to remain on their crumbling island and resuscitate their defunct fishing industry, the islanders plot against all intruders. As the earthquakes grow more violent, and the islanders more hostile, Endo and two other outsiders, a seismologist and a filmmaker, become entangled in their own troubled pasts."--Author's website.
