Details: From the internationally bestselling author of Bullet Train and Three Assassins, a propulsive thriller set in Tokyo's criminal underworld about the intrigue and tensions a family man faces as he tries to hide his secret life as a hitman
Kabuto is a highly skilled assassin eager to escape his dangerous profession and the hold his handler, the sinister Doctor, has over him.
The Doctor, a real physician who hands over Kabuto's targets as "prescriptions" in his regular appointments with him, doesn't want to lose Kabuto as a profitable asset, but he agrees to let him pay his way out of his employment with a few last jobs.
Only the most lucrative jobs involve taking out other professional assassins, and Kabuto's final assignment puts him and his family-who have no idea about his double life-in danger.
The third book in a loose trilogy set in Kotaro Isaka's imagined Tokyo criminal underworld, The Mantis features all the hallmarks of his work that readers have come to crave: assassins with quirky codenames and modi operandi, page-turning action sequences, madcap energy, and razor-sharp humor-making the novel a frenetic, unputdownable read that hurtles readers toward a thrilling climax.
