Description
'Extraordinary.' New York Times'Savagely beautiful.' The TimesTokyo, January 26th, 1948.
As the third year of the US Occupation of Japan begins, a man enters a downtown bank.
He speaks of an outbreak of dysentery and says he is a doctor, sent by the Occupation authorities.
Clear liquid is poured into sixteen teacups. Sixteen employees of the bank drink this liquid according to strict instructions.
Within minutes twelve of them are dead, the other four unconscious.
The man disappears along with some, but not all, of the bank's money. And so begins the biggest manhunt in Japanese history. In Occupied City, David Peace dramatises and explores the rumours of complicity, conspiracy and cover-up that surround the chilling case of the Teikoku Bank Massacre. 'Marvellous.' Daily Telegraph'Genuinely hypnotic.' Harper's Magazine
