Excerpt: Natsuo Kirino () (nom de plume, real name Mariko Hashioka), born October 7, 1951 in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, is a Japanese novelist and a leading figure in the recent boom of female writers of Japanese detective fiction.

Kirino also has written an installment in the Canongate Myth Series (concerning the myth of Izanagi and Izanami), to be published in 2009.
