Neither does revenge.\n\nTokyo never sleeps-it just hums with secrets. When an American businessman plummets from a train platform, Detective Hiroshi Shimizu is pulled from his desk and thrust into the city's glitter and darkness. The only clue: a grainy flash of a woman on a security feed-too calm, too quick, too close to the dead man.\n\nIn Tokyo, where suicide and murder often trade masks, Hiroshi's search takes him from luxury offices and hostess clubs to the echoing platforms of midnight trains. Partnered with ex-sumo wrestler Sakaguchi and guided by his grizzled mentor Takamatsu, Hiroshi follows the trail through the ruthless corridors of real estate and finance, a maze of corporate greed, real estate corruption, and quiet desperation.\n\nEvery lead drags him deeper into the city's shadows-where fortunes are made on land deals, and lives are lost over a single secret. In the world's most expensive city, inside information is currency, and Hiroshi is running out of both time and luck.\n\nHiroshi navigates sacred temples, shadowy boardrooms, and the neon-lit streets where billions in land deals change hands and make lives expendable. As he closes in on a former hostess bent on revenge, Hiroshi discovers that the truth in Tokyo can be as treacherous as the city itself. Hiroshi's determined to cut through Tokyo's dangers and confusions to find the murdering ex-hostess before she extracts her final revenge-which just might be him.\n\nFans of Michael Connelly, Jo Nesbø, and Japanese mysteries will be drawn into this gripping international noir, where loyalty cuts deep, the lights burn cold, and every answer comes with a price. The Last Train delivers high-stakes intrigue, razor-sharp tension, and the sharp pulse of Japan's capital in crisis.\n\nWinner of multiple international mystery awards\n\nWinner Shelf Unbound Best Independently Published Book (2018)\nSolo Medalist Winner New Apple E-Book Awards for Mystery (2017)\nWinner Beverly Hills Book Awards for Crime Fiction (2017)\nWinner Best Mystery Book Excellence Awards (2017)\nWinner Independent Press Award for Mystery and Thriller (2018)\nGlobal Award Reader Views (2017-2018)\nGold Award Literary Titan Book Award (2017)\nSilver Honoree IBPA Benjamin Franklin Digital Awards (2017)\nSilver Award Feathered Quill Awards (2018)\nSilver Award Independent Publisher Book Awards (2018)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1942410123\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1942410123.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pronko, Michael\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
