In Fallen Idol, the harsh shadows cast by the twisty neon of Osaka hide bad intent but it's where the answers lie, and for resourceful PI Kyoko Nakamura there's no turning away.
Gary Phillips, author of Batman: The Killing Joke novelization
Fallen Idol is a very good start to a promising series revolving around the private detective agency of Kyoko Nakamura. As a mystery book, it kept me guessing about the actual culprit, and had more than one twist in its arc. But what makes this book really great are the characters and the vivid descriptions of their life. I heartily recommend it.

Constantine tackles so many things effortlessly, like using Osaka as the setting, that might trip up other writers. He also brings Kyoko, a female private investigator, to life without trivializing or exaggerating her character, just because she's a woman. She is both just simply another private eye working the job, but she's not just a cookie cutter trench coat that happens to be a woman. Constantine allows every aspect of Kyoko to inform her character, from her being a woman to mistakes in her past to personal feelings about the world of the idols, and more. As real as a fictional character on a page can get, that is what Constantine makes Kyoko.
