After bringing down one of the greatest godfathers in the Japanese mafia, Jake has become a due-diligence investigator: as a private detective for big international companies, he tracks down yakuzas-turned-businessmen.
His enemies have put a price on his head, so he never goes anywhere without Saigo, his faithful ex-yakuza bodyguard. But when the Fukushima disaster strikes in 2011, Jake Adelstein must dig deep: catastrophe has hit where he least expected it, affecting his closest friends.
