Black Gaijin

In the spring of 1911, Marcus, a determined African American Pinkerton agent, arrives in Japan-a land of ancient traditions and a rapidly changing world. Tasked with investigating a rising tide of violence, Marcus is determined to prove himself, despite being a stranger in a foreign land.

An unlikely bond forms when Marcus crosses paths with Kenji, a skeptical yet skilled shogun. Drawn together by curiosity and necessity, Marcus introduces Kenji to the power of a revolver, while Kenji shares the soul of the samurai with Marcus. Their friendship transcends cultural barriers, blending Western innovation with Eastern discipline.

But when a gang of ruthless bandits terrorizes a quiet village, Marcus and Kenji must unite their newfound skills to protect the innocent. Their bravery earns them the respect of the villagers, but the challenges they face run deeper than any bullet can reach.

A tale of brotherhood, resilience, and the clash of two worlds, The Pinkerton and the Shogun is a story about finding common ground in the face of adversity-and discovering that true strength lies in friendship.
