|summary= There are obvious suspects in any missing child case, with the parents often at the top of the list. In the case of 8 year old Jasmine, though, there's someone else who catches the police's eye: local park worker Sam who has something of an unconventional relationship with the girl.

~~|title=Motions and Moments: More Essays on Tokyo~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Travel~~

|summary=Last year I was lucky enough to review [[Beauty and Chaos: Slices and Morsels of Tokyo Life by Michael Pronko|Beauty and Chaos: Slices and Morsels of Tokyo Life]], Michael Pronko's first essay collection about his adopted city. I found that book to be full of insight and variety, so was delighted to be approached about reviewing his latest book, ''Motions and Moments'', which is a third set of essays (after ''Tokyo's Mystery Deepens''). Again the book is compiled from Pronko's ''Newsweek Japan'' articles, this time from 2011 onwards. All of the pieces have been reworked, but most of them remain short; 'Tokyo life is about spatial limitations,' Pronko wryly comments, and it's appropriate for his pieces to reflect that.
