#4 Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan by Jake Adelstein

It has been several years since I have read any non fiction about Japan. This was interesting not so much as a "true crime" novel but also showing day to day work life in Japan in the the early 90's. Jake admits to his errors that cost the life of one of his friends during the investigation of one story. This is a book I would recommend to anyone interested in Japanese culture and it sidesteps the usual light side of life.
