About this product
Product Information
Zen-Noir master Nakamura returns to the Tokyo of The Thief , where a young grifter named Yurika finds herself in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with the shadowy crime lord Kizaki. Yurika is a freelancer in the Tokyo underworld. She poses as a prostitute, carefully targeting potential johns, selecting powerful and high-profile men. When she is alone with them, she drugs them and takes incriminating photos to sell for blackmail purposes. She knows very little about the organization she's working for, and is perfectly satisfied with the arrangement, as long as it means she doesn't have to reveal anything about her identity, either. She operates alone and lives a private, solitary life, doing her best to lock away painful memories. But when a figure from Yurika's past resurfaces, she realizes there is someone out there who knows all her secrets: her losses, her motivations, her every move. There are whispers of a crime lord named Kizaki--"a monster," she is told--and Yurika finds herself trapped in a game of cat and mouse. Is she wily enough to escape one of the most sadistic men in Tokyo?

Reviews
Praise for The Kingdom "[Yurika] makes an ideal guide into Nakamura's nightmare kingdom, one node in a nihilistic entanglement of lives forged outside of conventional legal and moral frameworks." --Publishers Weekly "With a complex yet sympathetic antiheroine who must outwit the most cunning and twisted minds, Nakamura's dark crime novel sets the bar for gritty, twisted plots that keep readers constantly guessing." --Library Journal "Suspense writing at its tautest and most philosophical." --Politics and Prose Bookstore "Unsettling, The Kingdom offers both psychological suspense on the most intimate personal level as well as some sinister geo-political (un-)doings in the background... A quick, dark read, in which the reader is--like Yurika--constantly kept off balance." --The Complete Review "A classic in the making... Just make sure there's room in your schedule for recovery from this highly purposeful journey into darkness." --Kingdom Books "Nakamura excels in writing brief, taut suspense and both this work and his exemplary The Gun really should be on your reading list." --Bookgasm.com Praise for Fuminori Nakamura "Crime fiction that pushes past the bounds of genre, occupying its own nightmare realm . . . Guilt or innocence is not the issue; we are corrupted, complicit, just by living in society. The ties that bind, in other words, are rules beyond our making, rules that distance us not only from each other but also from ourselves." -- Los Angeles Times "This slim, icy, outstanding thriller, reminiscent of Muriel Spark and Patricia Highsmith, should establish Fuminori Nakamura as one of the most interesting Japanese crime novelists at work today." -- USA Today "Nakamura's prose is cut-to-the-bone lean, but it moves across the page with a seductive, even voluptuous agility." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Some of the darkest noir fiction to come out of Japan--or any country--in recent years . . . Nakamura's stories, however labeled, are memorable forays into uncomfortable terrain." -- Mystery Scene From the Hardcover edition., Praise for The Kingdom "Nakamura has described The Kingdom as a sister novel to The Thief . . . But the new novel bests its companion." -- The New York Times Book Review "Few protagonists in modern crime fiction are as alienated as those in the challenging, violent, grotesque tales of Japanese author Fuminori Nakamura . . . Yurika''s struggle to escape her vexed fate elevates this shocker well above the lurid." --The Wall Street Journal "Multilayered and intense . . . [The] monstrous crime lord ''Kizaki'' is a formidable nemesis." --The Independent (UK) "The Kingdom offers another sample of Japanese author Fuminori Nakamura''s heady blend of disaffected philosophy and noir suspense." --Shelf Awareness "Dark and strangely seductive... A recommended read for fans of noir as well as for anyone looking to be mesmerized by a masterful storyteller." --Pank Magazine "A face-paced, dark novel of psychological suspense, told in a succinctly poetic style." --Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine "[Yurika] makes an ideal guide into Nakamura''s nightmare kingdom, one node in a nihilistic entanglement of lives forged outside of conventional legal and moral frameworks." --Publishers Weekly "With a complex yet sympathetic antiheroine who must outwit the most cunning and twisted minds, Nakamura''s dark crime novel sets the bar for gritty, twisted plots that keep readers constantly guessing." --Library Journal "Nakamura is in a class by himself . . . His straightforward prose advances the story quickly, even as he creates an atmosphere that shimmers around the edges while slowly transforming the environment and the characters." --Book Reporter "On a par with Jo Nesbo or Don Winslow." --Lit Hub "Suspense writing at its tautest and most philosophical." --Politics and Prose Bookstore "Unsettling, The Kingdom offers both psychological suspense on the most intimate personal level as well as some sinister geo-political (un-)doings in the background . . . A quick, dark read, in which the reader is--like Yurika--constantly kept off balance." --The Complete Review "A classic in the making... Just make sure there''s room in your schedule for recovery from this highly purposeful journey into darkness." --Kingdom Books "If I had to name just one author who is absolutely iconic in the field of border- and boundary-crushing noir, it would be Fuminori Nakamura." --Shotgun Logic "Nakamura excels in writing brief, taut suspense and both this work and his exemplary The Gun really should be on your reading list." --Bookgasm.com Praise for Fuminori Nakamura "Crime fiction that pushes past the bounds of genre, occupying its own nightmare realm . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
