About Smoke Over Tokyo A Reiko Watanabe/Inspector Aizawa Thriller

"Tokyo, May 1932. Japan is still plagued by economic depression, scandals, and assassinations. One evening, a prominent politician mysteriously commits suicide while dining with Chizuru Okamura, the daughter of a yakuza crime family. Leading the investigation, Police Inspector Aizawa tasks his geisha spy, Reiko Watanabe, to go undercover into the world of the dreaded Okamura Gang. Reiko soon finds herself at the center of a power struggle between Chizuru and her brother, Lieutenant Katsuro Okamura, for control of the gang. Using bribery and deceit, Chizuru is poised to take over the government, while Katsuro seeks to launch a coup d'état and install a military dictatorship. As they try and thwart both schemes, Reiko and Inspector Aizawa must untangle a web of conspiracies involving the Army Secret Service, opium dens, political corruption, assassination, and Charlie Chaplin, while all Japan hangs in the balance."--Back cover.
