A rollercoaster ride from the cult master of the psycho-thriller

'A blistering portrait of contemporary Japan, its nihilism and decadence wrapped up within one of the most savage thrillers since The Silence of the Lambs' Kirkus

'Deft and fascinating . . . A grisly tour of the darkness and confusion of the human mind' New York Times

It's just before New Year, and Frank, an overweight American tourist, has hired Kenji to take him on a guided tour of Tokyo's red light district.

As Frank's behaviour becomes increasingly unsettling, Kenji begins to entertain a horrible suspicion: his client may in fact have murderous intentions.

Although Kenji is far from innocent himself, he unwillingly descends into the troubling waters of Frank's mind, from which only his sixteen-year-old girlfriend, Jun, can possibly save him.

Violência no Japão

Bruno Curado

Do mesmo autor do famoso livro Audition, temos aqui mais uma obra que segue perfeitamente as marcas principais do autor Ryu Murakami, um pano de fundo no submundo japonês e cenas que chocam qualquer leitor. Fantástico para quem gosta de literatura e cinema hardcore asiático.

Disclaimer! Incredibly violent and graphic, be cautious!

Ariana F.

Disclaimer! Incredibly violent and graphic, be cautious! - Too beautifully written to be such a gore horror novel and the timing, damn, it hits you like a cold sharp knife in a soft warm back. - "Malevolence is born of negative feelings like loneliness and sadness and anger. It comes from an emptiness inside you that feels as if it's been carved out with a knife, an emptiness you're left with when something very important has been taken away from you."
