Tokyo Vice

When Jake Adelstein joined the police department of Japan's largest daily newspaper, the Yomiuri Shinbun, he was only 24 years old, and he had a long way to go to master the codes of this very different country from his native Missouri. The first and only foreign journalist to join the editorial staff of a Japanese newspaper, he covered cases related to extortion, murder, human trafficking, fiscal corruption and the Yakuza mafia for twelve years. He did not hesitate to enter the underworld of the capital where vice and decadence reign, and against all odds, he became the preferred interlocutor of the largest criminal organization in Japan, while continuing to collaborate with the police. A dangerous position that forced him to enter a game whose rules he did not know. When his latest investigation uncovered a scandal that spread from the neon-saturated streets of Tokyo to the gleaming halls of the FBI, he began to fear for his life.
