Tale of Burns Bannion, private detective and karate expert in Tokyo Japan 1958, as he navigates the Tokyo Underworld in pursuit of a girl named Mitsuko on behalf of a recently dead client.

Filled with color and colorful characters. Inspired a whole series of Burns Bannion books, including, Kill Me In Shinjuku and Kill Me in Roppongi. Pulp fiction. A cross between Mickey Spillane and Raymond Chandler, it is rough around the edges. Nice depiction of the era.

Earl Norman was the pen name for Norman Thomson, a radio, stage, and film actor who worked for the Department of Defense…
