Issac Adamson books

Post by Space Wolf »

Has anyone ever read any of Issac Adamson's Billy Chaka novels?
If I had to make the nutshell description of the series it is this: Billy Chaka is an invesitgative reporter for a magazine that covers the pop culture in Asia. Chaka's beat is Japan, and each book he is on an assignment somewhere in Japan, and something goes amiss. Think of it sort of like Fletch but in Japan.

There are four books so far: Tokyo Suckerpunch, Hokkaido Popisckle,
Dreaming Pachinko, and Kinki Lullaby.

I've read the first two, own the second, and need to get the third still.
They are fun books, with a weird supernatural twist to each story. Supposedly Toby Maguire was to play Billy in a film but nothing has come of it yet.

Here is a link to the author's website if anyone is interested: http://www.billychaka.com/
