Description

Five killers. One train journey. But who will survive? The original and propulsive thriller from a massive Japanese bestseller.

*SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING BRAD PITT AND SANDRA BULLOCK*

Satoshi looks like an innocent schoolboy but he is really a viciously cunning psychopath. Kimura's young son is in a coma thanks to him, and Kimura has tracked him onto the bullet train heading from Tokyo to Morioka to exact his revenge. But Kimura soon discovers that they are not the only dangerous passengers onboard.

Nanao, the self-proclaimed 'unluckiest assassin in the world', and the deadly partnership of Tangerine and Lemon are also travelling to Morioka. A suitcase full of money leads others to show their hands. Why are they all on the same train, and who will get off alive at the last station?

Featured Reviews

Five killers are aboard a bullet train from Tokyo; each has their own reasons for being on the train but as the journey seems doomed and all that can go wrong with each of their plans does, who will make it to their destination alive?

This novel was utterly gripping; the convergence of all the killers on the train was tense and as plans started to unravel quickly became a bloodbath. I was gripped until the very end; particularly to see what would happen to my most hated character Prince. The writing, characters and speed of the action (as well as the train) made this unputdownable.; I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of fast paced thrillers.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the novel in exchange for an honest review.
