"Struggling San Francisco antiques dealer Jim Brodie is back in Japan. After wading through the tragedy of the Japantown murders, he and his daughter have returned for a well-earned vacation. Checking in at the P.I. firm he inherited from his father, he's startled by the arrival of an old World War II veteran and his son. The father has come explicitly to see Brodie, and offers up a dark story connected to the war and a pair of violent home invasions committed in the Japanese capital only days earlier. Brodie takes a liking to the old soldier and agrees to provide protection, one of the services Brodie Security supplies. An unexpected murder soon shocks Brodie and his crew, and Brodie begins a wild ride through the worlds of kendo, the Triads, war atrocities, the backstreets of Yokohama's unfathomable Chinatown, Chinese spies, and an elusive group of killers after a long-lost treasure with a murky and dangerous history. With the crusty PI Noda at his side, Brodie pokes around where he's not wanted, and when a friend is delivered up to him in pieces Brodie is once again running for his life--while seeking the answers he needs to save it"--… (mehr)

Even better than the first book, more action, but it was less superhuman especially for an antiques dealer. The book again obviously takes place in Tokyo but it also goes to America and beyond.
Thankfully the daughter has a much smaller role in this book. ( )

This was good but I had a hard time keeping the chapters from repeating. I felt that i was seeing something I have read in the past before. ( )

TOKYO KILL BY BARRY LANCET is the second book in the series as well as the second book of his I've read. I read the first book and thought wow the author cant top this but in TOKYO KILL he did manage to top it.
Mr. Lancet writes a book that hits the ground running. Fast paced, and twists and turns that keeps you off balance to the very end.
Jim Brodie, mild mannered antique dealer & kick ass owner of a Japanese detective agency gets mixed up with the worst of the worst, the triads who are gang members on steroids when it comes to killing and maiming. His client a WWII Japanese officer who is the triads target.

This Jim Brodie series is a must read for thriller lovers.

I recieved this book free in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. ( )

An imaginative non-stop thrilling action adventure. The pages will turn so fast that the book is finished, and leaves you wanting more…

Jim Brodie is owner of Brodie Security Detective Agency, deals with antiquities and collectables, a single father raising a young daughter, but also seems to collect his own series of unfortunate events along the way to solving an international hidden treasure hunt.

The unrelenting talent, research and personal experience this author brings to the reader is astounding. The descriptive narration is so complete that you can see it in your mind eye as the events take place. The many talents of Jim Brodie are endless, yet believable. Along with his supporting cast of colorful characters, they will take you on an incredible journey.

Barry Lancet offers you a unique look at his personal travels, his knowledge of the Japanese culture, collectibles, and historical references are what really places this story in a class of its own. Sit back and enjoy! 5/5 ( )
