Opis

Jake Adelstein went to Japan in search of peace and tranquility, but what he got was a life of crime - crime reporting, that is. 'Tokyo Vice' is his account of the seedier side of Japan, where extortion, murder, human trafficking and corruption are as familiar as ramen noodles and sake.

Recenzje

Terrific. With gallows humour and a hard-boiled voice, Adelstein takes readers on a shadow journey throught the Japanese underworld and examines the twisted relationships of journalists, cops, gangsters. Expertly told and highly entertaining.
