When the stakes are at their highest, how low would you go?

_____________

Shogo Hatano has beaten thousands of applicants to become one of six final candidates in the running for a graduate position at Japan's most exclusive tech company. Only one will be chosen - a decision made by the applicants themselves.

In a glossy high-rise office in Tokyo, the interview begins. All six of them are equally measured and polished, until they discover the envelopes. One for every candidate. Each containing a secret so terrible that they could ruin more than just careers. They could destroy lives.

The evidence was clearly planted by someone in the room. As suspicion coils tighter and alliances fracture, it's clear the question is no longer who deserves the job, but how far are they willing to go to get it.

Because behind the polite mask and slick words is a monster capable of anything in the pursuit of their goal. But are any of them truly who they say they are?

'An utterly compelling psychological masterclass that demands to be read in a single sitting'

'Much like Asako Yuzuki's Butter, this novel possesses that rare, addictive quality of being both sharp social critique and an unputdownable human drama'

'A highly engaging read that explores the darker side of human ambition and the masks people wear to succeed'

'A fast-paced and gripping story that keeps the tension high from beginning to end'

'Lovers of translated fiction, whodunits and psychological thrillers will enjoy this read'

'A cracking debut that carves out a unique space in the corporate thriller genre by blending multiple themes seamlessly with a dark, locked-room structure'
