Description
On a high-speed bullet train hurtling from Tokyo toward Morioka, five assassins with competing motives find themselves trapped in the same moving target—where every stop brings new danger and every conversation could be a trap. As revenge, bad luck, and a mysterious suitcase of money collide, the passengers’ carefully laid plans begin to unravel in darkly comic, escalating bursts of violence. With a razor-fast, locked-room feel “played out at 200mph,” the novel turns the journey itself into a pressure chamber for identity, misdirection, and moral reckoning. Kotaro Isaka’s distinctive style blends sharp characterization with sly humor and kinetic plotting, delivering a twisty thriller that keeps you guessing until the final station.
