Yomiuri Shimbun . The global economy is in shambles  Jake is off the police beat but still
chain-smoking clove cigarettes  and Tadamasa Goto  the most powerful boss in the Japanese
organised-crime world  has been banished from the yakuza  giving Adelstein one less enemy to
worry about - for the time being.   Adelstein has a new gig these days: due-diligence work  or
using his investigative skills to dig up information on entities whose bosses would prefer that
some things stay hidden. Underneath layers of paperwork  corporations are thinly veiled fronts
for the yakuza. Pachinko parlors are a hidden battleground between disenfranchised Japanese
Koreans and North Korean extortion plots. TEPCO  the electric power corporation keeping the
lights on for all of Tokyo  scrambles to hide its willful oversights that ultimately led to the

gangsters look like philanthropists.   In this riveting memoir  Jake Adelstein once again
reveals Japan's dark underworld  as he battles to keep himself in the light.
