Coin Locker Babies

About this book

Kiku and Hashi are two boys abandoned in coin lockers as babies, taken in by the same orphanage, and raised as brothers by a foster family. Then: Toxitown, where the freaks and hustlers of Tokyo live and the chemicals can melt your face off; an explosively violent reunion live on camera; an otherwordly beauty with a gigantic crocodile; volatile rock stardom; competitive pole vaulting; and a substance that could end the world. Dizzyingly brutal, fearless and compulsive, Coin Locker Babies is Ryu Murakami at his unstoppable best. It is unforgettable, a visceral burst of unrestrained literary daring. Crime
