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.

What happens when an American hires a tourist guide to take him through Tokyo’s sleazy nightlife?
Kenji the guide is immediately alerted around his client, who seems to be a pathological liar with skin that looks cold and plastic and eyes that darken before they turn cold. The story of a Japanese school girl who was found dismembered is filling the news. Something tells Kenji that Frank was involved.
The book is extremely well-written while still being a quick read. The suspense in Murakami’s “In the Miso Soup” made it unputdownable, leaving you terrified for the next page. It also examines the human consequences of loneliness in both Japanese and American societies. Read this book if you want to be entertained and learn about Japan, but be prepared for gore and psychological drama.
A very easy read with a gripping...

A very easy read with a gripping story: Kenji works for Frank as a Guide and notices little concerning details on Franks behaivor..soon he watches themselves get into trouble.
I really enjoyed the setting and language, espacially because there were many critisisms about tourists.
