The Shibuya Extraction

Kenji Sato was trained by the best to be the best, a former JSDF soldier taught to treat his body like a machine and his emotions like data. For years, he's lived in the "gray space" of Japanese intelligence, moving between a quiet office and the dark rooms where information is extracted by force

But even Kenji isn't prepared for the Shibuya Extraction.

What started as a routine investigation into a Yakuza weapons pipeline spirals into a high-level conspiracy involving international intelligence agencies and a missing girl who shouldn't exist. With a sprained ankle, a suppressed 9mm, and a pack of Seven Stars cigarettes, Kenji must navigate a web of betrayal that reaches from the back alleys of Shinjuku to the halls of the National Diet.

As the net tightens, Kenji must decide if he is still the animal in the cage, or the man who will finally burn the cage down.
