What to expect
From the internationally bestselling author of Bullet Train comes the high-octane new thriller, set in Tokyo’s criminal underworld, that pits an ordinary man against a group of talented and very unusual assassins.
Suzuki is an ordinary man until his wife is murdered. To get answers and his revenge, Suzuki abandons his law-abiding lifestyle and takes a low-level job with a front company operated by the crime gang Maiden, who are responsible for his wife’s death. Before long, Suzuki finds himself caught up in a network of quirky and highly effective assassins.
The Cicada is a knife expert. The Pusher nudges people into oncoming traffic. The Whale whispers bleak aphorisms to his victims until they take their own lives.
Intense and electrifying, Three Assassins delivers a wild ride through the criminal underworld of Tokyo, populated by contract killers who are almost superhumanly good at their jobs.
Critics Review
“White-hot with double-crosses.”
“Part high-octane thriller, part farce, this is an unusual and thoroughly enjoyable read.”
“High-stakes, high-style, and utterly propulsive…An intense and electrifying ride through the criminal underworld of Tokyo. This triple cat-and-mouse thriller may leave behind a trail of suspense and destruction, but in its wake shines through the love and lengths people go to protect each other and to keep each other alive.”
“Tense and action-packed…Offers an exploration of just how dangerous and uncertain the quest for vengeance can be.”
“As lean and fast-paced as a classic pulp thriller.”
“[With] humor, pathos, and surprisingly deep musings on pop culture…a wildly entertaining criminal romp with a surprisingly poignant ending. Recommended.”
“Highly imaginative and chaotic, with very engaging characters. This prequel to Bullet Train is a super fun and wild ride.”
“Entertaining…high-speed…with lots of twists and turns…it has a Tarantino-meets-the-Coen-Brothers feel to it.”
“[An] engrossing thriller…Isaka makes what could be an over-the-top narrative work through his depiction of an everyman protagonist in way over his head. Fans of Bullet Train won’t be disappointed.”
