Tokyo never sleeps-it just hums with secrets. When an American businessman plummets from a train platform, Detective Hiroshi Shimizu is pulled from his desk and thrust into the city's glitter and darkness. The only clue: a grainy flash of a woman on a security feed-too calm, too quick, too close to the dead man.

In Tokyo, where suicide and murder often trade masks, Hiroshi's search takes him from luxury offices and hostess clubs to the echoing platforms of midnight trains. Partnered with ex-sumo wrestler Sakaguchi and guided by his grizzled mentor Takamatsu, Hiroshi follows the trail through the ruthless corridors of real estate and finance, a maze of corporate greed, real estate corruption, and quiet desperation.

Every lead drags him deeper into the city's shadows-where fortunes are made on land deals, and lives are lost over a single secret. In the world's most expensive city, inside information is currency, and Hiroshi is running out of both time and luck.

Hiroshi navigates sacred temples, shadowy boardrooms, and the neon-lit streets where billions in land deals change hands and make lives expendable. As he closes in on a former hostess bent on revenge, Hiroshi discovers that the truth in Tokyo can be as treacherous as the city itself. Hiroshi's determined to cut through Tokyo's dangers and confusions to find the murdering ex-hostess before she extracts her final revenge-which just might be him.

Fans of Michael Connelly, Jo Nesbø, and Japanese mysteries will be drawn into this gripping international noir, where loyalty cuts deep, the lights burn cold, and every answer comes with a price. The Last Train delivers high-stakes intrigue, razor-sharp tension, and the sharp pulse of Japan's capital in crisis.
