"A novel that portrays with devastating immensity how those on the dark fringes of society can be consumed by the darkness of their own hearts."—Yoko Ogawa, author of The Memory Police
This second half of Lady Joker, by Kaoru Takamura, the Grand Dame of Japanese crime fiction, concludes the breathtaking saga introduced in Volume I.
Inspired by the real-life Glico-Morinaga kidnapping, an unsolved case which terrorized Japan for two years, Lady Joker reimagines the circumstances of this watershed episode in modern Japanese history and brings into riveting focus the lives and motivations of the victims, the perpetrators, the heroes and the villains. As the shady networks linking corporations to syndicates are brought to light, the stakes rise, and some of the professionals we have watched try to fight their way through this crisis will lose everything—some even their lives. Will the culprits ever be brought to justice? More importantly—what is justice?

If you enjoyed the first part, then absolutely this is a must get. If you're looking at Part 2 to decide if you want Part 1, then you need to just be prepared for a slow burn of a novel. Part 2 picks up the pace a good deal but this isn't an edge-of-your-seat type of story. Things happen, as they normally do in real life, bit by bit. There's no "mystery" as you get the perspectives from everyone involved.
I enjoyed it and, oddly, found it fairly relaxing to listen to. It's an odd book to place as it's part police procedural, part corporate intrigue, and part investigative journalist novel. If you are interested in Japanese society then, for me, it was worth the listen.
Enjoyable ending to a novel
