LADY JOKER VOLUME 2

Beskrivelse

Five men who meet at a Tokyo racetrack every week carry out a heist. They have kidnapped the CEO of Japan’s largest beer company to extract blood money from the company’s corrupt financiers.

Known as Lady Joker, the men make their first attack on the beer company when their demands are not met. As the attacks escalate, the shady networks linking corporations to syndicates are exposed, the stakes rise, and bring into riveting focus the lives and motivations of the victims, the perpetrators, the heroes and the villains. Some will lose everything, even their lives.

Inspired by the real-life Glico-Morinaga kidnapping, an unsolved case that terrorized Japan for two years, Lady Joker reimagines this watershed episode in modern Japanese history.
