What to expect
Brought to you be Penguin.
'Masterpiece' - Jeffery Deaver
He is a completely unremarkable man.
Who wears the same black suit every day.
Boards the same train to work each morning.
And arrives home to his wife and son each night.
But he has a secret.
He likes to kill people.
With just weeks to go before the Olympics and the world's eyes firmly fixed on Tokyo the body of young British student, Skye Mackintosh, is discovered in a love hotel.
Tokyo's Homicide Department are desperate for a lead. As a last resort they enlist the help of a brilliant former detective whose haunted personal life has forced him into exile thousands of miles away.
But it isn't long before Kosuke Iwata discovers the darkness in the neon drenched streets as Skye, like so many others, had her own secrets.
Lies and murder haunt a city where old ghosts and new whisper from its darkest of corners and the truth is always just out of sight

Critics Review
-
Japan-set noir doesn’t get any darker or more twisted than this
Sunday Times Crime Club -
The plotting is impressively done. It’s a brilliant novel and a fitting end to a brilliant trilogy
NB Magazine -
Obregón is the most atmospheric of writers and evokes local landscapes and moods with diamond-like as well as dreamy precision and the three simultaneous plots advance with clockwork-like and relentless efficiency and won’t allow the reader a moment’s respite. A stunning achievement that should raise the author’s profile to crime’s Premier league or there is no justice in this world
Crime Time, Book of the Month -
An outstanding novel from start to finish, possibly the best book I’ve read this year. An entrancing thriller that lures you into the dark secrets of the neon streets of Tokyo. Riveting
The Courier, Book of the Week -
Praise for Nicolás Obregón
- -
Harrowing and gripping. An astute police procedural . . . Switching between LA, Mexico and Tokyo both Iwata’s present and past are cleverly interwoven in a truly heart-rending climax
