“
The Times
AN IMPRESSIVE FIRST THRILLER… THE ACTION IS FAST, COPIOUS AND OFTEN UNEXPECTED.”
“
Daily Express
THE VIVID SETTING AND SKILFULLY PLOTTED STORY IS COMPELLING AND HARD TO PUT DOWN.”

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.

Japanese proverb

There is nothing more expensive than something free.

Six thousand miles from the mistakes he’s made and the people he’s hurt, Tokyo seems like the perfect escape. A new life, a new Alex.

“
BARRY FORSHAW — CRIME TIME
THIS IS CHARACTER-DRIVEN FARE, BUT WITH A VIVID SENSE OF PLACE THAT POSITIVELY LEAPS OFF THE PAGE.”

The bright lights and dark corners of this alien and fascinating city intoxicate him, and he finds himself transfixed by a country which feels like a puzzle that no one can quite explain.

“
MICK HERRON
A FINE DEBUT – FAST-PACED AND BLEAK, WITH A VIVID SETTING AND GUT-WRENCHING TWISTS.”

And when Alex meets the enigmatic and alluring 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.

“
Simon Beckett
A vivid and noirish tale of an Englishman abroad discovering that you can run from everything but yourself. James Buckler is one to watch.”

There’s always the chance it’ll get worse…
