Good dad or good assassin? Can he be both?

From the internationally bestselling author of BULLET TRAIN- A seemingly ordinary family man tries to juggle his home life with his job as a hitman.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA DAGGER AWARD FOR BEST THRILLER

Kabuto is an ordinary guy; stressed with work, hassled by his wife and disrespected by his teenage son. No wonder he visits his doctor so often. Except the 'Doctor' is actually his handler, and Kabuto is a hired assassin. Because although he may seem like a small man at home, Kabuto is really good at killing people.

But Kabuto is worn out with the business of murder. So he's trying to pay his way out with a few last jobs. But when the final assignment puts his unsuspecting family in danger, Kabuto realises he is going to need every deadly skill he knows to keep them alive.

PRAISE FOR KOTARO ISAKA-

'Showcases Isaka's Tarantinoesque blend of offbeat wit and stylised violence' The Times

'Unusual and thoroughly enjoyable' Guardian
