THE REMARKABLE, AWARD-WINNING JAPANESE THRILLER
Winner of the 165th Naoki Prize
Winner of the 34th Yamamoto Shugoro Prize
In the wake of a brutal war with a rival cartel, a drug lord flees Mexico and ends up halfway around the world, where he runs into a Japanese heart surgeon. Suenaga has been shunned by the medical community and turned to working as an illegal organ broker doing business in Jakarta.
After their fateful meeting, the two men travel to Japan to establish a new business in the organ trade. There, the former cartel leader takes a young, lonely boy under his wing.
Gradually these three lives become inextricably entangled in a web of crime and violence. Together, they carve a new criminal empire from blood and bone, but how long can a dynasty last? Destiny is not for mere mortals to decide . . .
A unique Japanese literary figure, Tezcatlipoca is a darkly unique thriller that introduces Kiwamu Sato to English language readers for the very first time.
