Since his early days as an intrepid reporter, Jake Adelstein has been crafting a career as the Virgil of Tokyo’s criminal underworld. At this special Brisbane Writers Festival event, Adelstein discusses the incredible events behind Tokyo Vice, his memoir turned silver screen hit, and its sequel, Tokyo Noir, in conversation with a man who knows a thing or two about organised crime: Brisbane’s own Matthew Condon.

Matthew Condon is a prize-winning Australian novelist and journalist. He began his journalism career with the Gold Coast Bulletin in 1984 and subsequently worked for leading newspapers and journals including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun-Herald, Melbourne’s Sunday Age and The Courier-Mail.
