For fans of Leon: The Professional, this is a thriller set amongst the world of South Korean assassins. They get their orders from The Plotters, and rarely question them. But hitman Reseng begins to have his doubts about his career path after he takes out an old Plotter. He begins to question everything he always knew, as he was raised in The Library from infancy by a Plotter. Lots of twists and turns, and it's hard to know what's paranoia when they really are all out to get you!

This is definitely a case of it's me, not the book. I didn't enjoy this book, but I think it's because I don't enjoy crime stories and not because the book was bad. I liked the writing and the plot was interesting, but reading about crime and the seedy underbelly of Korea just isn't my thing. I'm not rating this because I think it is a good book, it's just not my thing.

Quiet. Uncomfortable. Interesting. I hope it’s unrealistic.
