A very good debut about a man that had lost his way, and by trying to fix everything in his life, he manages to make it all worse.
Ways to die in Tokyo presents us with MMA fighter Hank Fisher, who is living in Japan and pursuing his dream of becoming a pro. But time is running by, he is not successful and cannot support the family. Now he is separated, with anger issues, and is in serious need of cash if he ever wants to be united with his family. He has nowhere to go but to take a suspicious job where he suddenly ends up balls deep in a fight for power between elements of the Japanese mafia and the police. Hank fisher is out of luck and out of friends, but he will do everything for his family.
I found this book for free at Netgalley, and was pleasantly surprised with it. Hank is ill-tempered and mad at life , and he sounded real to me. I enjoyed the twists and turns, and the chase through Tokyo. It has its issues here and there, but overall I had a good time with it.
