THE NOVEL

MIKU IS MISSING

A roaming expat who refuses to admit he's lost distracts himself with romantic adventures in Central Europe. His latest ex has just broken up with him again, at the Prague zoo, when he meets three strangers, Min, Duri, and Su, looking for a flatmate.

Our narrator learns that his new flatmates have more going on than their day jobs at a Bohemian glass shop, with their uncanny access to money and drugs.

When they recruit him to drive with Aishi to Paris, to deliver what they show to be invitation-only, luxury perfumes, the operation unfurls to reveal a financial front for an elite cult that uses "vibes" to commit elaborate and grotesque murders from Tokyo to Prague to Paris.
