Looks like an easy assignment until he witnesses a beautiful young woman suffer a seizure in the Lucky Benten pachinko hall. When she is later found dead beneath the expressway, Chaka becomes embroiled in an apparent blackmail plot involving a Ministry of Construction official, a brash nineteen-year-old girl, a shadowy entity known only as Mr. Bojangles, and four silent figures who have a penchant for showing up uninvited inside Chaka's hotel room. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the bodies pile up and the mystery deepens, Chaka must untangle the lies, obsessions, and seemingly supernatural events that link the dead woman to a forgotten, bloody incident from the desperate closing days of World War II. Spellbinding and hilarious, Dreaming Pachinko will take you on a surreal thrill- ride through the city of the future -- a place where no one can escape the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William Morrow \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060516239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.12h x 5.44w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2003 pg. 548\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/19\/2003 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2003 pg. 1531\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Isaac Adamson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42924765905077,"sku":"9780060516239","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e6f0dab7-6bf5-4cac-8835-5b55b12906a1.jpg?v=1687837801","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dreaming-pachinko-9780060516239","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
