The Samurai Wizard Simon Hawke

Horror of the Rising Sun.... Tokyo, Japan, the 23rd Century: in a teeming metropolis powered by a blend of technology and magic, something inhuman is stalking the streets at night and slaughtering young women. Inspector Akiro Katayama, sorcerer agent in charge of investigating crimes involving magic, only has only one clue to work with - the scale of a dragon. Desperate to solve the case, Katayama enlists the aid of a streetwise homicide detective and Japan's most famous wizard, but they have no idea of the awesome power they're dealing with. The only ones who understand the threat are the four people chosen by an ancient spell to stop it - a bumbling young warlock, a beautiful cat burglar, an English punk possessed by the spirit of Merlin the Magician, and the immortal son of the legendary King Arthur. Only they know the truth about the seductive necromancer who's behind the killings, but can they help Katayama stop her before she casts the most deadly spell of all?
