Tokyo Suckerpunch

Meet Billy Chaka, ace reporter for Youth in Asia, Cleveland’s hottest selling Asian teen-rag. Chaka is in Tokyo to cover the Under-19 Handicapped World Martial Arts Championship and meet with his friend Sato Migusho, the renowned director of cult film classics like "Sex-Up the Hotrod, Baby!"

But Sato never shows. Instead, a woman stumbles into a dive bar with tattooed yakuza in hot pursuit. Then Chaka discovers that Sato has been murdered, and the strange and beautiful woman just may have been a witness.

As the mystery deepens, Billy will start brawls in swanky corporate sex clubs, be offered a golf membership by a secret religious order, meet a dog trained in the Way of the Samurai and race stolen motorcycles through the neon-choked streets of Tokyo.

PRAISE FOR TOKYO SUCKERPUNCH

"If you crossbred The Big Sleep with Memoirs of a Geisha and then took its offspring and crossed it with Chinatown you’d end up with Tokyo Suckerpunch – a tongue-in-bloody-cheek quasi-punk-noir tale of death and deception in the superfantastic Far East. Billy Chaka plays a sort of Drew Carey version Philip Marlowe, which I guess makes Isaac Adamson the Cleveland version of Raymond Chandler. ‘Nuff said.
--Bill Fitzhugh, author of Cross Dressing and Pest Control


"This pop romp through the Tokyo of martial arts, yakuza, and legendary geisha has more sly smarts than a Hong Kong gangster shoot-'em-up."
--Publisher's Weekly

"The hip but hysterical book of my dreams...Adamson glides through his punk-noir world like he's channeling Raymond Chandler."
--Baltimore Sun

"Tokyo Suckerpunch has all the fixings of a hyperkinetic fiend's verbal wet dream...a story line with enough subplots to make your eyes cross, bolstered by a pace like amphetamine pop rocks."
