Raeseng is a professional killer, having been taken in and trained by Old Raccoon as a child. Growing up in a secret hideout in Seoul, a library filled with ancient books, he belongs to the killer elite of Korea. Old Raccoon is a plotter. As the head of the organization "Library of Dogs," he has planned all politically sanctioned executions in Korea for decades. However, as the power of the dictatorship wanes, the influence of the plotters also begins to falter - and a new generation starts to establish its own deadly network. When Raeseng deviates from the plotters' plan while carrying out a mission, things spiral out of control - and Raeseng himself moves to the top of the death list. Following Han Kang's sensational success "The Vegetarian," another Korean bestseller author, Un-Su Kim, is making international waves. Celebrated in Korea and multiple award-winning.
