| book description |

'A visceral gut punch' New York Journal of Books 'Strikes like a lightning bolt' Nylon 'Dark and twisted' Daily Mail ___________________________ It's been twenty-five years since I last murdered someone, or has it been twenty-six? In his prime, Kim Byeongsu was one of the best murderers around. But he gave it all up to become a dedicated father. Despite suffering from dementia, he decides to come out of retirement for one final target: his daughter's boyfriend, who he suspects is a killer too. In other dark, glittering tales, an affair between childhood friends questions the limits of loyalty and love; a family disintegrates after their baby is kidnapped and recovered years later; and the pursuit of creative fulfilment may come at the expense of all reason... _____________________________ Readers are loving Diary of a Murderer 'A masterclass in storytelling' 'A page-turner' 'Haunting and unique' 'Reminds me why I love reading' 'Sharp, dark and edgy'
