Inspired by the real-life Glico-Morinaga kidnapping, an unsolved case that terrorized Japan for two years, Lady Joker reimagines the circumstances of this watershed episode in modern Japanese history and brings into riveting focus the lives and motivations of the victims, the perpetrators, the heroes, and the villains. As the shady networks linking corporations to syndicates are brought to light, the stakes rise, and some of the investigators, journalists, and other professionals fighting to manage this crisis will lose everything. Some even their lives. Will the culprits ever be brought to justice? More importantly - what is justice in a capitalist society, where a price can be placed on human life?" -- Jacket flap. 650 0 $a Beer industry $z Japan $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Japan $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Kidnapping $v Fiction. $9 204386 650 0 $a Alienation (Social psychology) $v Fiction. $9 285690 650 0 $a Revenge $v Fiction. $9 207174 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802168 700 1 $a Iida, Marie, $e translator. 700 1 $a Powell, Allison Markin, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231031010411.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C429332C723211EE9479EED542ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
