{"product_id":"ghosts-of-kurosawa","title":"Ghosts of Kurosawa","description":"One Virus. One Assassin. One Chance to Save Humanity. John Wick meets Ghost in the Shell in the shadows of Tokyo, where a rogue assassin must confront his past to stop a deadly genetic virus.\n\nFive years ago, Ryō killed his Yakuza partner Niko—after watching him murder the woman he loved.\nNow living as Hiroshi Ichihara, a quiet college student, he’s buried his past. A second chance. A normal life.\n\nUntil a first date shatters everything.\n\nForced to reveal himself, Ryō discovers the impossible: Niko is alive.\nWorse, he’s united the Yakuza clans and engineered a CRISPR virus that could destroy the world. Only one person can stop him—the assassin Ryō swore he'd never become again.\n\nBut there’s a price. Every kill awakens the darkness inside him, the bloodlust that made him Tokyo's most feared killer. The more he fights, the more his humanity slips away.\n\nWith Ayako Yanagi—a brilliant doctor caught in the crossfire—as his only ally, Ryō must return to Tokyo’s underworld to infiltrate Niko’s genetically enhanced army and stop the virus before it’s unleashed. But defeating his former brother-in-arms may cost him the one thing he’s fought to keep: his soul.\n\nCan he save the world without becoming the monster he fears most?\n\n\"A fast-paced, high-energy ride that feels remarkably cinematic... a must-read for fans of Japan-inspired stories and anime-style action.\" — Goodreads Reviewer\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1971090018\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1971090018.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ali, Asghar\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
