Last Stop Tokyo book cover by James Buckler

The funny thing with suffering is just when you think you’ve suffered enough, you realize it’s only the beginning.

Alex thought running away would make everything better. Six thousand miles from the mistakes he’s made and the people he’s hurt, Tokyo seems like the perfect escape. The bright lights and dark corners of this alien and fascinating city intoxicate him like a puzzle that no one can quite explain. When Alex meets the enigmatic Naoko, the peace he sought slips ever further from his grasp.

After all, trust is just betrayal waiting to happen - and Alex is about to find out that there’s no such thing as rock bottom.

There’s always the chance it’ll get much worse.
