I would recommend the book "Tokyo" by Mo Hayder on that subject. Disturbing. Very Disturbing.

In return I reccomend you a real Japanese novel, as opposed to one set there. Out by Natsuo Kirino. Fantastic book and also disturbing. You may have already read it of course, it's been around for years. Except I've only just found it it was called Out. The edition I read had a blood spattered cover (by design, not personal use) and I thought it was called Cut! It's not slash-horror. It's well written, well considered and a great lesson in Japanese niceties while cutting close to the bone. If you're interested DO NOT READ THE AMAZON PRECIS. It gives away some real shocks. Buy it blind. You might like it, you might not, but at least it won't be spoiled for you. I hate it when they do that. Like blurbs on the back of books which say things like "After the death of her daughter, Marie finds it difficult to cope. Moving back to the childhood home she meets a old friend, Raina. But does Raina have her best interest in mind?" You've got to page 50 and Marie's daughter is still alive. Ho-hum, you know she's off to the boneyard. Raina arrives in Chapter 5. You know not to trust her. ARRRRRRGH!
