If you, like I, love Japanese culture and have a fascination with the yakuza, you'll love this novel! I read it entirely this morning and couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to further novels from this exciting author!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fast-paced tale of vengeance and courage July 13, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
C. J. Martin has written a thriller of a story about vengeance with a long memory, a man's checkered past revealed, and his daughter's life threatened. Fast-paced and loaded with action and very believable characters including Kazuo Tanaka (if that is his real name) and his daughter, this short story is a teaser for what is sure to come: a full-length novel that, if it is anything like this story, is sure to keep readers awake at night.

Having spent time in Japan, C. J. Martin knows Japanese culture and its players very well. I look forward to reading the novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Read! June 11, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a well written short story with plenty of action, suspense, and great characters. It was a page turner, hard to put down, and short enough not to have to. I can't wait for more from this promising young author.
