M. Anthony Phillips’ follow up to his hard action detective and crime novel The Bushido Way/a Sam Phillips Mystery is finally here! Payback/The Bushido Way 2 captures all the elements of Los Angeles in the mid seventies, featuring a gang takeover brought on by the new Yakuza boss, Ken Yamada.
Ken is looking to takeover control of Los Angeles with the drug trade, prostitution and guns, but it one thing that fuels his fire. It is getting revenge on the man that killed his big sister Michelle Yamada. That man is Sam Phillips. Sam and his partner, the often troubled but loyal friend, Armstrong Jones. Michelle, an old friend of Sam’s when they were teenagers, hired them to protect who they thought were her little brother Ken, but instead was a patsy who was set up by Michelle to take the fall in a heated Yakuza gang war.
Michelle dropped a dime on Ken’s patsy who was murdered by the rival gang thinking it was Ken. Armstrong had grown attached to the kid and vowed to get the culprits. Sam found out it was Michelle playing him for the fool all along, he killed her in a bloody shootout.
Now it’s the “real” Ken Yamada. Newly crowned boss of all bosses after his father’s death in Japan, Ken is looking to exact some revenge on the one man that he’ll stop at nothing to get to, including trying to find and kill a star witness under Sam’s protection, who can bring Ken’s empire down.
M. Anthony captures the raw emotion of two men putting it all on the line, even at the cost of losing what they hold dear to them in this searing tale.
Payback/The Bushido Way 2 has all you’re looking for in a crime novel, and more in M. Anthony Phillips’ eighth book.
