A thriller writer like no other; James Buckler finds the pulse-pounding drama in life's closest connections and our biggest mistakes, played out far from home.

The funny thing with suffering is just when you think you’ve suffered enough, you realize it's only the beginning.

Alex thought running away would make everything better. Six thousand miles from the mistakes he's made and the people he’s hurt, Tokyo seems like the perfect escape. A new life, a new Alex.

The bright lights and dark corners of this alien and fascinating city intoxicate him, and he finds himself transfixed by this country, which feels like a puzzle that no one can quite explain. And when Alex meets the enigmatic and alluring Naoko, the peace he sought slips ever further from his grasp.

After all, trust is just betrayal waiting to happen and Alex is about to find out that there's no such thing as rock bottom. There’s always the chance it'll get worse...

Reviews for Last Stop Tokyo

A fine debut - fast-paced and bleak, with a vivid setting and gut-wrenching twists * Mick Herron * A vivid and noirish tale of an Englishman abroad discovering that you can run from everything but yourself. James Buckler is one to watch. * Simon Beckett, bestselling author of The Chemistry of Death * The vivid setting and skilfully plotted story is compelling and hard to put down. * Daily Express * This is character-driven fare, but with a vivid sense of place that positively leaps off the page. * Barry Forshaw, Crime Time * Racy and dark debut thriller. * Sunday Sport *
