If you don't want to know the answer, don't ask the question.
Working as a reporter for a Japanese newspaper, Jake Adelstein has been writing about Japanese organized crime for decades. He is the only American journalist allowed into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Press Club. These unique experiences form the basis of his memoir, which is as chilling as a thriller. But his work is not fiction, but a frightening and unpredictable reality.
Adelstein delves into the mysterious life of the "other" Japan: why do Japanese smartphone manufacturers always put an alert when shooting with the camera? Where does the interest in hentai come from? And even - what does the Fukushima tragedy have to do with the Yakuza?
White-collar criminals, mysterious suicides and the author's personal tragedy ...
What do you do when you're so deep that you can't separate sensationalism from your own life?
His first book "Tokyo Police" shook the whole of Japan and almost caused his death. The book was the basis for a TV series of the same name, Tokyo Police, starring Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe.
