Can he be both? From the internationally bestselling author of BULLET TRAIN- A seemingly ordinary family man tries to juggle his home life with his job as a hitman. Picture a mantis raising up its blades. It looks fearsome, but it\u0026#39;s still just a tiny insect. The mantis actually thinks it can win. Even though it\u0026#39;s tiny, it\u0026#39;s still ready to fight to the death. Kabuto is an ordinary guy; stressed with work, hassled by his wife and disrespected by his son. No wonder he visits his doctor so often. Except \u0026#39;the Doctor\u0026#39; is actually his handler, and Kabuto is a hired assassin. The \u0026#39;prescriptions\u0026#39; the Doctor hands over are his unlucky targets. Because although Kabuto may seem like a small man at home, he\u0026#39;s really good at killing people. Kabuto is worn out with the business of murder. He\u0026#39;s trying to pay his way out of the Doctor\u0026#39;s employment with a few last jobs. But the most lucrative contracts involve taking out other professional assassins and his final assignment puts both him and his family in danger.","author_name":"Kōtarō Isaka","author_url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/kotaro-isaka","thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/external_data/261916/33413bbebf2d60c4c034f91a2d8d100687722921.jpeg","thumbnail_width":342,"thumbnail_height":500}
