About this product
Product Information
In 1992, Carita Ridgway arrived in Tokyo from Sydney to work as a nightclub hostess. A beautiful, blonde, 21-year-old model, Carita was a prized gaijin girl (Western girl) whose job it was to serve drinks to Japanese businessmen, light their cigarettes, flirt. She thought the job would be fun and glamorous; a great way of earning a lot of money quickly. But she did not know that behind the lights and excitement of Tokyo s nightclub scene lies a terrible darkness. Many beautiful blonde Western girls have found themselves lured into performing sexual acts for money, seeing their job slowly change from nightclub hostess into that of high-class prostitute. For Carita, her glamorous adventure ended even more tragically - she was raped and then murdered by a merciless sex killer. In this groundbreaking, authoritative account of Carita Ridgway and British hostess Lucie Blackman s lives and deaths, Clare Campbell lifts the lid on the often horrifyingly sleazy world of Tokyo nightclubs. With firsthand accounts from other gaijin girls , interviews with Carita and Lucie s friends and family, and insights into the mind of their twisted killer, Tokyo Hostess is a gripping and shocking read.
