When a violent turf war between rival Yakuza clans exposes a burgeoning black market gun trade in Tokyo, FBI profiler Sterling Gray must hunt a shadowy criminal mastermind. After a brutal battle for supremacy between opposing Yakuza syndicates goes south, gun violence explodes in the Tokyo underground and quickly spreads throughout the city. Desperate to curb the influx of firearms, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is forced to seek help from Interpol. Special Agent Sterling Gray is adept at taking down international fugitives...but in the world of the Yakuza, being a foreigner paints a target on his back. Teaming up with TMPD investigator Mariko Tamura, the pair are tasked with profiling the invisible ringleader behind the complex arms trafficking network. But as a clearer picture of their quarry begins to take shape, the details just don't seem to add up. The culprit is poised to slip through their fingers, and Gray can't escape the feeling that he's missing something critical. If he wants to uncover the truth, he'll have to seek help from the unlikeliest of allies--and put his mind and combat skills to the ultimate test. Because in a city with enemies around every corner, any mistake can be fatal. Packed with riveting action and set in the tumultuous world of the Japanese criminal underground, The Green Samurai is a pulse-pounding adventure by WSJ and USA Today bestselling authors Brian Shea and Ty Hutchinson, perfect for fans of James Patterson and Michael Connelly.

A Memoir

"The most romantic memoir you're likely to read in a lifetime." --Elin Hilderbrand, New York Times bestselling author of Here's to Us

An evocative memoir. A beautiful journey to half a century and half a world away. An ageless love story.

Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent Paul Brinkley‑Rogers has lived an adventurous life all over the world. But there is one story he cannot forget: that of his haunting love affair with a mysterious older Japanese woman in 1959. Paul was a sailor aboard the USS Shangri‑La that long‑ago summer when he met Kaji Yukiko in the seaport of Yokosuka. A fierce intellectual, Yukiko shared her astonishing knowledge of literature, film, and poetry with Paul and encouraged, even demanded, that he use his gifts to become the writer he is today.

But theirs was not a quiet love story. When a member of the yakuza, Japan's brutal crime syndicate, attempted to kidnap Yukiko, Paul realized that there was much more to her--and to Japan in the devastating wake of World War II--than he saw at first glance. Through the searing letters that Yukiko wrote to him and Paul's vivid telling of a history made all the more powerful and poignant by the weight of time, Please Enjoy Your Happiness reaches across decades and continents, inviting us all to revisit those loves of our lives that never do end.
