'Masterpiece' JEFFERY DEAVER
'A stunning achievement' CRIME TIME, BOOK OF THE MONTH
________

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.
________

Exiled detective Kosuke Iwata is asked back to the neon-drenched streets of Tokyo.

An English exchange student has been murdered, the Olympics are just days away and those high up want this case closed fast.

But Kosuke Iwata is not a man to be hurried. What he doesn't realise is that out there is a killer so apparently unremarkable he's impossible to find . . .
________
