About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Their mission is murder. His is revenge.

A propulsive new thriller from the best-selling author of Bullet Train.

Suzuki is just an ordinary man until his wife is murdered. When he discovers the criminal gang responsible, he leaves behind his life as a maths teacher and joins them, looking for a chance to take his revenge. What he doesn't realise is that he's about to get drawn into a web of unusual professional assassins, each with their own agenda.

The Whale convinces his victims to take their own lives using just his words.

The Cicada is a talkative and deadly knife expert.

The elusive Pusher dispatches his targets in deadly traffic accidents.

Suzuki must take each of them on, in order to try to find justice and keep his innocence in a world of killers.

This is my third Kotaro Osaka after Bullet Train and The Mantis, and I’ve loved all of them. There’s a curious sense of tenderness under all the thrills and violence, and an interesting sense of morality and redemption in each of them - or perhaps I’m just projecting. Anyway this is another surprising, absorbing and convoluted yarn, well translated and brilliantly read/performed by Adam Sims. Highly recommended!

I watched bullet train and hated the movie then read the book and realised they changed nearly everything the book was amazing then I found this and it is just as good and I see he uses characters across books which I love

I loved bullet train and pre-ordered this as soon as I could and I wasn't disappointed. the story is a smooth ride and seemed to be over far too soon for me. I would have happily had more. The author is such a good storyteller.

As for the narrator, I went through a journey with him, just like on bullet train when i first listened to the sample before buying. With his general narration, i wasnt sure if i was going to manage to get to the end. However, if you have heard a small clip before buying and felt the same then please be reassured. The voices the narrator uses for characters bring them to life. He really is brilliant with the character work in my opinion.

Had to give it 5 stars...

I just could not finish this book, I tried several times. I was unable to be gripped by the novel, I may try a different book by this author but not for a while !!

Mind numbing !
