Summary:
Hit man file: Tanthai has become the Thai underworld's secret weapon: a remorseless contract killer able to dispatch any target provided his price is met. But a when a politician hires him to kill a drug kingpin, Tanthai finds himself the target. 3 seconds before explosion: Gone renegade from the shadowy espionage bureau that honed his killer instincts to a razor's edge, the implacable Yabuki teams up with fellow mercenary crime fighter Yamawaki. Together, they follow a trail of stolen gems leading from the final days of WWII to a contemporary conspiracy. Yakuza graveyard: A rogue cop is assigned to look into the Nishida branch of the yakuza by his corrupt bosses. He gets to know one of the criminals and finds him more honorable than his superiors in the police force. Cops vs. thugs: A brutal tale of two warring underworld factions determined to gain ultimate power over Kurashima City. The year is 1963, and the delicate balance of power in Kurashima City is shakily maintained between two warring factions. The political influence of the Kawade gang helps to legitimize the vicious group's lucrative rackets scheme, and the uneasy alliance shared between their rivals the Ohara gang and the corrupt local police force ensures that neither gang gets too much power. When the lure of some valuable waterfront property becomes too much for the Ohara boss to resist, however, the volatile standoff receives just the catalyst needed to spark a vicious bloodbath between the gangsters, cops, and politicians all looking to come out on top.
