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

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, it becomes clear several different killers, with varying missions, are all staying in the hotel at the same time. 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.

"Isaka takes readers on a furious cat-and-mouse race through the luxury hotel... a near-perfect thriller" - Booklist
