Publisher's Synopsis
The Yakuza. Outcasts of civilized society. They follow a way of life known as 'The Extreme Path'. The media label them 'Violent Groups'. They see themselves as 'Chivalrous Organizations'. Under a criminal code of honor, they coerce, bribe, blackmail and murder to build and maintain their empires. Japan's two largest rival families are on the verge of war. When Sydney underworld enforcer, Sean Reynolds, arrives in Tokyo to do a hit for aspiring crime lord, David Nguyen, things quickly fall apart and Sean is forced to use all of his cunning to stay alive in an alien world. Never far behind is Police Inspector Sakamura. He is intrigued by the wily foreigner who is turning his city upside down. Can he bring Sean in before he does too much damage? Some powerful men have old scores to settle, and the Australian enforcer appears to be the common denominator. In this world, men die before they back down. Sean Reynolds has a similar philosophy. And he's not shy about expressing it...
