Bullet Train's hapless underworld operative and his handler are back in this thrilling new novel from internationally bestselling author Kotaro Isaka, named one of the Best Novels of the Year (Crime Reads)
"Isaka's style is tense, laden with dark humor expressed with a flat affect—just the right tone for a book that walks the fine line between comedy and violence." (New York Times Book Review)
In Bullet Train, underworld operative Ladybug was tasked by his handler Maria with retrieving a suitcase from a high-speed train in Japan. The job did not go according to plan, to the delight of millions of readers and movie fans around the world.
Will the unluckiest assassin in the world will find things easier this time around? All he has to do is deliver a painting to a hotel guest, a portrait made by his daughter. Easy enough, except when Ladybug makes the delivery, he realizes that the guest is clearly not the guy in the painting. Then he attacks Ladybug, they fight, and the guest ends up dead. How can such simple jobs always go wrong?
Internationally acclaimed author Kotaro Isaka spins another outrageously entertaining thriller in Hotel Lucky Seven. This is a stylish, masterful book, again featuring outsized characters, gripping action, plot twists, and surprise identities.

      Lingering questions from Isaka's hit Bullet Train (2021) are answered here after Tokyo's unluckiest assassin, Nanao (aka Ladybird), kicks off another hired-gun battle royale. After a mission at the Winton Palace Hotel goes awry, a desperate woman named Kamino in the elevator begs Nanao for her protection. Kamino has an inexhaustible memory and has worked as a walking database for feared underworld boss Inui. But she's trying to escape, and is being pursued by The Six, a ruthless blowdart-wielding team of killers. Natsuo responds with a jaw-dropping mix of ingenuity and training that takes eight of Tokyo's elite operatives off the table. Isaka takes readers on a furious cat-and-mouse race through the luxury hotel, culminating in the shocking reveal of the catalyst for the Bullet Train massacre and a complex revenge plot. But readers will be most surprised by the happy ending that rivals any cozy romance. Seamlessly translated by Brian Bergstrom, strategically paced, and as expertly plotted as Isaka's previous three Assassins series entries have been, this is a near-perfect thriller.
