A luxury hotel full of assassins - what could go wrong? The original, twisty and inventive sequel to the international bestseller Bullet Train

'Fresh and fun and full-throttle’ A.J. FINN, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW

A luxury hotel full of assassins - what could go wrong?

Nanao ‘the unluckiest assassin in the world’ has been hired to deliver a birthday present to a guest at a luxury Tokyo Hotel. It seems like a simple assignment but by the time he leaves the guest's room one man is dead and more will soon follow. As events spiral out of control as it becomes clear several different killers, with varying missions, are all taking a stay in the hotel at the same time. And they're all particularly interested in a young woman with a photographic memory, hiding out on one of the twenty floors.

Will Nanao find the truth about what’s going on? And will he check out alive?

In this original, gripping and inventive follow-up to the international bestseller Bullet Train, Kotaro Isaka demonstrates his unparalleled gift for unique characters and unexpected twists.

A thriller on amphetamines, fresh and fun and full-throttle -- both a giddy romp and an unexpectedly involving crash course in human nature. This is a hotel fans of Quentin Tarantino and Martin McDonagh will want to check into.

Inventive fun… quirky charm and dark humour… his sense of glee is infectious
