Three Assassins
Their mission is murder. His is revenge. A propulsive thriller from the prizewinning author of Bullet Train.
Suzuki is just an ordinary maths teacher... until his wife is murdered.
Seeking justice, he leaves his old life behind to infiltrate the criminal gang responsible. What he doesn't realise is that he's about to get drawn into a web of the most 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 Pusher dispatches his targets in deadly traffic 'accidents'.
Suzuki must take on the three assassins to avenge his wife - but can he keep his innocence in a world of seasoned killers?
Their mission is murder. His is revenge.
Don't miss the next thrilling Kotaro Isaka book, Hotel Lucky Seven, available to pre-order now.
Praise for Bullet Train:
'Unlike anything you're likely to have read before... white-hot with double-crosses' β Financial Times
'Entertaining... high-speed... with lots of twists and turns... it has a Tarantino-meets-the-Coen-Brothers feel to it' β The Times
'Part high-octane thriller, part farce, this is an unusual and thoroughly enjoyable read' β Guardian
'The action accelerates up and down the ten carriages but the question is - who will get off alive?' β Daily Mail
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Three Assassins by Kotaro Isaka is praised for its Tarantinoesque blend of offbeat wit and stylised violence, with a plot that is both entertaining and gripping. The novel is a mesmerising tale about the dual nature of life and how the past inevitably catches up with us. It's celebrated for its colourful and morally despicable characters and delivers a stylish and fitting finale with plenty of twists.
