Two inventive tales of espionage in one from the internationally bestselling author of
Japanese fiction sensation Bullet Train Miyako suspects her mother-in-law is a murderer. It's
not just a case of them rubbing each other up the wrong way - there is definitely something
suspicious going on. But Miyako isn't exactly what she seems either. Her husband has no idea
about her past life as a secret agent. When she decides to use her professional skills to
investigate her mother-in-law the delicate equilibrium of their lives is thrown wildly out of
balance. Many decades later in a future world where electronic communication has been
irrevocably compromised confidential messages must be delivered by trusted couriers like Mito.
But one delivery pulls Mito into a conspiracy beyond his wildest imaginings and forces him
into a race against time to defeat a world-changing technological threat. Seesaw Monster
contains two sharp thrilling novellas - SEESAW MONSTER and SPIN MONSTER - from the bestselling
and multi-award-winning writer Kotaro Isaka internationally celebrated for his offbeat humour
and inventive talent for twists. PRAISE FOR KOTARO ISAKA: 'Unlike anything you're likely to
have read before . . . white-hot with double-crosses' Financial Times 'Entertaining . . .
