About the Collection

This two-book collection brings together two of Kotaro Isaka's interconnected crime thrillers, originally written in Japanese and translated into English by Sam Malissa. Three Assassins was published in English in 2022, followed by Bullet Train in 2021 in its English-language release.

Three Assassins follows Suzuki, an ordinary man whose wife is murdered. Seeking revenge, he enters the criminal underworld and becomes entangled with a group of highly unusual assassins, including the mysterious Whale, the deadly Cicada and the elusive Pusher.

Bullet Train takes place aboard a high-speed train travelling from Tokyo to Morioka, where several assassins find themselves pursuing separate missions. Nanao, Tangerine, Lemon and other dangerous passengers become caught up in a chaotic struggle involving a suitcase of money and a series of interconnected motives.

I’m so unbelievably stoked and happy about both sets the Mistborn and the Storm Light archives hardback books that I got from the reading spa. I just randomly fell across the reading spa in searching for these quality of books and the reading spa has far surpassed my expectations. I am really excited to continue to fill my library with hardcover books from the reading spa for years to come. Great prices, the books are an amazing shape and a brand new and they shipped them to you quickly. Thank you again for being a place I can count on for good quality, hardcover books.!

These are such beautiful books. I just wish I had them all when my five kids were small. We were given eight over the years as gifts from various people. I have a large, hardbound book with all the stories in it. These stories are good for everyone to read, no matter what their age. Little kids like the nursery rhymes and bigger kids like the sass of Squirrel Nutkin. Thank you for having these books; I thought there was no place to get them but England.
