Synopsis

It's never a smart idea to get on the bad side of the Yamagushi-gumi, Japan's largest organized crime group. But when Jake Adelstein, a student from New Jersey, decides to join Japan's largest daily newspaper as a crime reporter, it isn't long before his investigations earn him some powerful enemies.

Jack Klaff reads this gritty memoir by Jake Adelstein.

Abridged and produced by Jane Marshall Productions for BBC Radio 4.
