Strap yourself in for a fast-paced, wild ride through Tokyo's underbelly, a megacity where anything can be had for a price. And danger and death are free. Love, honor, and violence?the way of Japan.
A foreign correspondent is called home to Tokyo from a landscape of war and starvation in Africa. There's a death in the family and a little sister to protect. Yakuza gangsters and corrupt cops will stop at nothing to take everything thirteen-year-old Miki has?friends, family, home?even her life.
Miki fights back with grit, guile, and humor. Her drifter brother wants to help, but Jack is distracted. He's fallen hard for a woman as mysterious as she is beautiful, and a city that's changed beyond recognition.
