D B John recommends
Two Storm Wood (2021)
Philip Gray
"One of the most evocative thrillers I've ever read... Haunting, cinematic, and utterly gripping."
The Plotters (2018)
Un-su Kim
"Kill Bill meets Murakami. Twisted and surreal, The Plotters is one of those rare books that will haunt you long after you've finished it. The writing is smooth, unhurried and often profound, even as it draws you deeper into the gruesome underworld of skilled contract killers. Chillingly, the violence is almost exquisite, a bloody art form."
