DESCRIPTION :

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 Tokyos organised crime syndicates.

From gambling rackets and ritualised killings, to the forbidden pleasures of soapland, Adelsteins 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 Tokyos 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 mans life of crime.

Terrific, expertly told and highly entertaining.
George Pelecanos, on Tokyo Vice
