“TOKYO UNDERWORLD” – THE FAST TIMES AND HARD LIFE OF AN AMERICAN GANGSTER IN JAPAN.

Traded in @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe - Guesthouse - Pattaya.

The author tells the story of Japan, particularly of Tokyo, post-WW2.

He chooses to weave it around the life of an ex-Marine from East Harlem who was part of the U.S. occupational forces right after Japan surrendered. An interesting character who tried several varied business ventures, some legal, some not.

He, Nicola Zappetti of Italian heritage, set up the first American pizza restaurant in Japan, in an area of Tokyo that became very upscale. He was so much into the Japanese lifestyle there at the time that he became a naturalization Japanese citizen and gave up his U.S. citizenship.

He died in 1992, having suffered from poor health for years. The criminal file on him by the Tokyo metropolitan police department is the thickest they've ever had on an American. Zappetti made and lost more money in Japan than any American. He married and divorced more Japanese women than any American. He was involved in more civil lawsuits in Japan than any American. One of his wives became fabulously wealthy after divorcing him and acquiring many of his properties, including restaurants. The author delves into the shadow universe in Japan of an assortment of characters, including gangsters, corrupt entrepreneurs, seedy sports promoters, streetwise opportunists, intelligent agents, political fixers, financial manipulators. He discusses the postwar black market, the Wall Street cabal that subverted official U.S. policy in Japan, the professional wrestling boom promoted by political leaders and underworld bosses, a ruthless Korean gang chief vying for control of Tokyo in a secret connection with the CIA, a pro wrestler and jewel thief, nightclub hostesses trained in the art of international espionage, the Lockheed aircraft scandal, gold smugglers, assorted con men. Tokyo hosted the summer Olympics in 1964. That catapulted Japan into a global economic giant. Money flowed from West to East. Many years later the flow went the other way. The author graduated from Sophia University in Tokyo. He did extensive research for this book and conducted nearly 200 interviews. By the way, Zappetti's restaurant, Nicola's Pizza House, remained in business long after his death, though not as the fashionable place to dine for political and business and sports and even gangster elites. It drew the more common folks for its pizza and burgers. It got mixed reviews on TripAdvisor. It finally closed down for good in 2018.

The Trial by Franz Kafka...

Traded in @ Canterbury Tales Cafe - Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe & Guesthouse..

Written in 1914 but not published until 1925, a year after Kafka’s death, The Trial is the terrifying tale of Josef K., a respectable bank officer who is suddenly and inexplicably arrested and must defend himself against a charge about which he can get no information.

Whether read as an existential tale, a parable, or a prophecy of the excesses of modern bureaucracy wedded to the madness of totalitarianism, The Trial has resonated with chilling truth for generations of readers.

Traded in with many others from Patterson @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe - Guesthouse - Pattaya.

An anonymous tip about a crime in Upper Manhattan proves to be a set-up, taking an officer down-and it's not Michael Bennett. The life of New York's top cop is not the only one at risk. One of Bennett's children sustains a mysterious injury. And a series of murders follows, each with a distinct signature, alerting Bennet to the presence of a professional killer. Investigators chase leads that turn out to be phantoms, and this master killer entices one officer into compromising Bennett. He then goes a step further, luring another member of Bennett's family into even graver danger. Michael Bennett can't untangle what's driving the assassin-but he can tell it's personal. And he needs to determine exactly how he figures in the killer's logic, before there is one fewer Bennett in the world.

The Accidental Prime Minister: The Making and Unmaking of Manmohan Singh by Sanjaya Baru...........
@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe - Guesthouse - Pattaya.
When The Accidental Prime Minister was published in 2014, it created a storm and became the publishing sensation of the year. 
The Prime Minister’s Office called the book a work of ‘fiction’, the press hailed it as a revelatory account of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s first term in UPA. 
Written by Singh’s media adviser and trusted aide, the book
describes Singh’s often troubled relations with his ministers, his cautious equation with Sonia Gandhi and how he handled the big crises from managing the Left to pushing through the nuclear deal. 
Insightful, acute and packed with political anecdotes, The Accidental Prime Minister is one of the great insider accounts of Indian political life.

Four Hours in My Lai: A War Crime and Its Aftermath by BILTON.

In our Vietnam War section at Canterbury Tales Bookshop Pattaya.

Early in the morning of 16 March 1968, a company of around 120 US infantrymen, later to be described as a "normal cross section of American youth", entered a village on the central coastal plain of South Vietnam and killed hundreds of unarmed and unresisting women, old men and children. Later the same day, another party of US soldiers massacred nearly 100 more defenceless citizens in another village less than two miles away. Together, these two related actions became known as the My Lai Massacre. This is an account of this war crime. Throughout the US and Vietnam, the authors have tracked down and interviewed survivors of the massacre, perpetrators and bystanders, to describe the culture of a war which turned the young men of Charlie Company, after only three months in Vietnam, into the brutal killers of My Lai.

Operation Man Hunt: The Hunt for the Richest, Deadliest Criminal in History by Damien Lewis. .. ...

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe - Guesthouse - Pattaya.

By 2007 Viktor Bout had become the world's foremost arms dealer. Known as the 'Merchant of Death' he was both "Public Enemy No. 1" to the global intelligence agencies and a ruthless criminal worth around six billion dollars.

For years Bout had eluded capture, meanwhile building up a labyrinthine network of airlines selling weapons to order to dictators, rebels, despots and terror groups worldwide. He was hunted by the CIA, NSA, MI6, as well sought by the United Nations for being their top global sanctions buster.

Holed up in Moscow - from where he ran a suite of offices selling anything from AK47s to state-of-the-art helicopter gunships and anti-aircraft missiles - he was shielded by a Russian state that was a partner in his dark dealings. In short, Bout appeared utterly invulnerable and beyond any hope of capture.

Step forward former SAS man Mike Snow - after serving in the Regiment, Snow had worked as a bush pilot in Africa, where he'd got to know Bout well. Via its own secretive, shadow network, Snow was approached by the US DEA, the Drugs Enforcement Agency. The DEA agents had one question for him: was Snow able to get to Viktor Bout?

This is the incredible tale of OPERATION RELENTLESS, the top-secret mission that Snow and a handful of DEA operatives launched to entrap Viktor Bout - a story that ranges from the steamy jungles of Colombia to the ice-bound streets of Moscow, and from horrific bloodshed and tyranny in the Congo, to a snatch operation like no other. It may read like an implausible thriller, but every word of Operation Man Hunt is true.

Hawaii by James A. Michener. . . ....

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe - Guesthouse - Pattaya.

Pulitzer Prize winning author James A. Michener brings Hawaii’s epic history vividly to life in a classic saga that has captivated readers since its initial publication in 1959. As the volcanic Hawaiian Islands sprout from the ocean floor, the land remains untouched for centuries - until, little more than a thousand years ago, Polynesian seafarers make the perilous journey across the Pacific, flourishing in this tropical paradise according to their ancient traditions.

Then, in the early nineteenth century, American missionaries arrive, bringing with them a new creed and a new way of life. Based on exhaustive research and told in Michener’s immersive prose, Hawaii is the story of disparate peoples struggling to keep their identity, live in harmony, and, ultimately, join together.

1Q84: Books 1 and 2 by Haruki Murakami..

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe - Guesthouse - Pattaya.

Haruki Murakami is an international phenomenon. When Books One and Two of his latest masterpiece, 1Q84, were published in Japan, a million copies were sold in one month, and the critical acclaim that ensued was reported all over the globe. Readers were transfixed by the mesmerising story of Aomame and Tengo and the strange parallel universe they inhabit. Then, one year later, to the surprise and delight of his readers, Murakami published an unexpected Book Three, bringing the story to a close.

In order to reflect the experience of 1Q84's first readers, Harvill Secker is publishing Books One and Two in one beautifully designed volume and Book Three in a separate edition. A long-awaited treat for his fans, 1Q84 is also a thrilling introduction to the unique world of Murakami's imagination. This hypnotically addictive novel is a work of startling originality and, as the title suggests, a mind-bending ode to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. (The number 9 in Japanese is pronounced like the letter 'Q').

The year is 1984. Aomame sits in a taxi on the expressway in Tokyo.

Her work is not the kind which can be discussed in public but she is in a hurry to carry out an assignment and, with the traffic at a stand-still, the driver proposes a solution. She agrees, but as a result of her actions starts to feel increasingly detached from the real world. She has been on a top-secret mission, and her next job will lead her to encounter the apparently superhuman founder of a religious cult.

Meanwhile, Tengo is leading a nondescript life but wishes to become a writer. He inadvertently becomes involved in a strange affair surrounding a literary prize to which a mysterious seventeen-year-old girl has submitted her remarkable first novel. It seems to be based on her own experiences and moves readers in unusual ways. Can her story really be true?

Both Aomame and Tengo notice that the world has grown strange; both realise that they are indispensable to each other. While their stories influence one another, at times by accident and at times intentionally, the two come closer and closer to intertwining.

The Amber Room by Steve Berry....

We have a good selection from this author @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe - Guesthouse - Pattaya.

The Amber Room is one of the greatest treasures ever made by man: an entire room forged of exquisite amber, from its four massive walls to its finely crafted furniture. But it is also the subject of one of history's most intriguing mysteries.

Originally commissioned in 1701 by Frederick I of Prussia, the Room was later perfected Tsarskoe Selo, the Russian imperial city. In 1941, German troops invaded the Soviet Union, looting everything in their wake and seizing the Amber Room. When the Allies began the bombing of Germany in August 1944, the Room was hidden. And despite the best efforts of treasure hunters and art collectors from around the world, it has never been seen again." Now, two powerful men have set their best operatives loose in pursuit, and the hunt has begun once more. . . . Life is good for Atlanta judge Rachel Cutler. She loves her job, loves her kids, and remains civil to her ex-husband, Paul.

But everything changes when her father, a man who survived the horrors of World War II - died under strange circumstances and leaves behind clues to a secret he kept his entire life . . . a secret about something called the Amber Room. Desperate to know the truth about her father's suspicious dealings, Rachel takes off for Germany, with Paul close behind. Shortly after arriving, they find themselves involved with a cast of shadowy characters who all claim to share their quest. But as they learn more about the history of the treasure they seek - Rachel and Paul realize they're in way over their heads. Locked in a treacherous game with ruthless professional killers and embroiled in a treasure hunt of epic proportions, Rachel and Paul suddenly find themselves on a collision course with the forces of power, evil, and history itself. A brilliant adventure and a scintillating tale of intrigue, deception, art, and murder, "The Amber Room" is a classic tale of suspense and the debut of a strong new voice in the world of the international thriller.

Your darkest moment is your most vulnerable… Stephen Berry is about to jump off a bridge until a suicide prevention counsellor stops him. A week later, Stephen is dead.

The Basement by Stephen Leather . . .

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe - Guesthouse - Pattaya. .. ...

New York City.

With a population of almost nineteen million people, it's easy to remain anonymous even if you're a serial killer, torturing and murdering beautiful young women.

The killer has another victim right now, locked in a basement somewhere in the city. For NYPD detectives Turner and Marcinko, it's their job to sift through those nineteen million and narrow their list to the one before it's too late.

And they're sure they have the right man in their sights. Fusing alternating viewpoints with devastating precision, Leather's top-notch thriller dives deep into the mind of a demented killer as tension mounts immeasurably. Turner and Marcinko's prime suspect is screenwriter wannabe Marvin Waller.

He is becoming increasingly frustrated by his lack of success and the cops think he might be channeling his anger into murder ? yet he doesn't seem to be at all concerned that they are hot on his trail. As Turner and Marcinko close in on Waller they have to wonder: is he the killer? And if he isn't ? who is? Only time will tell ? and time is one thing they do not have. An unrelenting vice-grip of suspense and fear, The Basement is the ultimate shocker with a shattering climax that will leave you battered, bruised, and broken.

Gypsy Boy: The bestselling memoir of a Romany childhood by Mikey Walsh. . .

Traded in recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe - Guesthouse - Pattaya.

MIKEY WAS BORN into a Romany Gypsy family.

They live in a closeted community, and little is known about their way of life - after centuries of persecution Gypsies are wary of outsiders and if you choose to leave you can never come back.

This is something Mikey knows only too well. Growing up, he rarely went to school, and seldom mixed with non-Gypsies. The caravan and camp were his world.

But although Mikey inherited a vibrant and loyal culture, his family's legacy was bittersweet with a hidden history of grief and abuse. Eventually Mikey was forced to make an agonising decision - to stay and keep Secrets, or escape and find somewhere he could truly belong.

Mikey's amazing story is continued in the sequel Gypsy Boy on the Run.

Bali Undercover by Malcolm Scott.. . .

Traded in @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Cafe - Guesthouse - Pattaya.

In this follow-up to his chart-topping "Bali Raw", Malcolm Scott strips off the island’s sunny veneer to reveal its dark and dirty underbelly, taking the reader where no tourist guide ever will.

Take a walk through the night streets of Kuta Beach to meet its wild and willing hookers, its dolled-up trannies and desperate college girls, and discover first hand all the sexy and sleazy Secrets that the island hides by day - creep through grimy alleyways awash with drugs and thugs and corrupt cops, and hang out in seedy bars full of cheap booze, rowdy pimps and bloody fist fights. Sneak a peek into the private lives of shifty locals and wide-eyed Australian tourists and enjoy a voyeur’s view of the deceit, drama and everything else the island is afraid to show us. In yet another steamy exposé of Bali and its sins and Secrets, Bali Undercover suggests why the island may no longer be paradise, but a paradise lost.

Len Deighton’s classic first novel, whose protagonist is a nameless spy - later christened Harry Palmer and made famous worldwide in the iconic 1960s film starring Michael Caine. The Ipcress File was not only Len Deighton’s first novel, it was his first bestseller and the book that broke the mould of thriller writing. For the working class narrator, an apparently straightforward mission to find a missing biochemist becomes a journey to the heart of a dark and deadly conspiracy. The film of The Ipcress File gave Michael Caine one of his first and still most celebrated starring roles, while the novel itself has become a classic.
