 People Who Eat Darkness: The True Story of a Young Woman Who Vanished from the Streets of Tokyo— and the Evil That Swallowed Her
by Richard Lloyd Parry

I never thought I could learn so much from a True Crime book! In People Who Eat Darkness, Richard Lloyd Parry tells the story of Lucie Blackman, a young British woman who disappeared while working in one of Tokyo's hostess clubs, and the frantic search to find her. Parry also tells us the story of the man responsible for her disappearance, and also illuminates many aspects of Japanese culture that had a hand in this crime. Very entertaining, interesting and well written! —Sarah B.
