Zero: An Epic Masterpiece

This is a remarkable story that begins with mysterious happenings. It delves into the world of the Yakuza and adds more to the mystery as you go along. I found this book in an old antique store, dusted it off, and began to read. The author does an excellent job of captivating his audience and never letting go. I could not put the book down. I recommend this to anyone who is intreagued by the culture of Japan, as this is where the story focuses on.

Continuous action from beginning to end!

Micheal Doss tries to get away from all of the violence but after the death of his father he has to find the killer.
