The leader of a secret organization, known only as Silent Thunder, plans on disrupting the world financial community in order to turn Japan back towards its nationalist destiny

Buddha Kiss is a thriller that glows with the confidence of its insider perspective, blending headlines about cult poisonings in Japan and tales of Hong Kong money-market manipulation with a strong fictional basis. Peter Tasker, a British writer based in Tokyo where he also works as a financial analyst, sets up two unusual investigators: a Japanese private eye named Mori and a British securities expert named Mitchell. He turns the pair loose on separate murder and swindling cases that lead them to the bizarre Peace Technology cult and a sushi banquet featuring the dreaded delicacy of poisonous blowfish.

Kazuo Mori, PI, is struggling to make ends meet. When he falls in with a prostitute called Angel, he is soon struggling for survival in a vicious game that has the Yakuza and Japan’s two major computer game makers as players. And on top of everything else, there is the rival agency that’s just set up and is undercutting him on every job. The only thing to do is set up in partnership with the eager young student who is taking his business. And it’s an arrangement with some unexpected bonuses.
