THE LAST YAKUZA - JAKE ADELSTEIN KARTONIERT (TB)

'Sacred  ferocious  and businesslike  Adelstein describes the Japanese mafia like nobody else.'
Roberto Saviano  on Tokyo Vice    When acclaimed journalist Jake Adelstein hires a former
Yakuza boss  known as the 'Tsunami'  to be his driver and bodyguard  he soon finds himself
swept into the violent heart of Tokyo's organised crime syndicates.    From gambling rackets
and ritualised killings  to the forbidden pleasures of 'soapland'  Adelstein's unlikely
friendship with the 'Tsunami' gains him unprecedented access to the Yakuza - now under threat
after years of tacit acceptance from Japanese society. But in a culture that prizes loyalty and
honour above all else  how far can they go in their quest for truth about Tokyo's criminal
underworld?   A riveting history of the Japanese mafia  featuring an unforgettable cast of
supporting characters  The Last Yakuza is an electrifying - but ultimately uplifting - story of
one man's life of crime.   [Barcode: 9781472109156]  [insert Corsair logo]
