Praise

“A crime novel that doesn’t just skirt the surface but dives deep into its characters’ psyches while exposing the gritty realities of Tokyo’s economic underworld. Part con, part drama, and all tension—Tokyo Swindlers is a high-stakes game where no one comes out unscathed.”


Jake Adelstein, author of Tokyo Vice and Tokyo Noir


“Shinjo weaves an enthralling tale of white-collar crime in this top-shelf financial thriller. This is masterful.”
