With three previous novels under his belt, former Kodansha International editor Barry Lancet has made a name for himself as an author by tapping into the niche of thrillers set in Japan. During a recent event at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan (FCCJ) in the Yurakucho Denki Building in Central Tokyo, The Gaijin Ghost had an opportunity to meet the author, hear him speak, and obtain an advanced reading copy of his latest page-turner, The Spy Across the Table, which is due out in the states one week from today.
