People Who Eat Darkness: The Fate of Lucie Blackman by Richard Lloyd Parry, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2012. 

The crime occurred in a neighborhood of Tokyo called Roppongi. In this neighborhood there are many kinds of foreigners: Koreans, Chinese, Filipinas, Thais, Ghanians, Nigerians, Gambians, Russians, Iranians,  Israelis, and even the French. Most Koreans in Japan belong to Zainichi Chōsenjin, which is subdivided into Mindan (which has close ties with South Korea) and Chōsen Sōren (which has close ties with North Korea). 

Lucie Blackman was a young, British woman who came to Roppongi to be a bar girl. One of her patrons kidnapped her, raped her and killed her. It took a long time for the police to find the body and her murderer.
