"Three Assassins feels like a fever dream that makes sense when
you're in it, but whose strange contours linger long after you wake up."
--New York Times
Three Assassins is the high-stakes, high-style, and utterly propulsive
follow-up to Kotaro Isaka's international bestseller, Bullet Train, a
Crime Reads "Most Anticipated Book of 2021."
Suzuki is an ordinary man until his wife is murdered. To get answers and
his revenge, Suzuki abandons his law-abiding lifestyle and takes a
low-level job with a front company operated by the crime gang Maiden,
who are responsible for his wife's death. Before long, Suzuki finds
himself caught up in a network of quirky and highly effective assassins:
The Cicada is a knife expert.
The Pusher nudges people into oncoming traffic.
The Whale whispers bleak aphorisms to his victims until they take their
own lives.
Intense and electrifying, Three Assassins delivers a wild ride through
the criminal underworld of Tokyo, populated by contract killers who are
almost superhumanly good at their jobs.
