___________________________

It's been twenty-five years since I last murdered someone, or has it been twenty-six?

In his prime, Kim Byeongsu was one of the best murderers around. But he gave it all up to become a dedicated father. Now, despite suffering from dementia, he decides to come out of retirement for one final target: his daughter's boyfriend, who he suspects is a killer too.

In other dark, glittering tales, an affair between childhood friends questions the limits of loyalty and love; a family disintegrates after a baby son is kidnapped and recovered years later; and the pursuit of creative fulfilment may come at the expense of all reason.

    Each time I buried a victim, I repeated to myself: I can do better next time.

    The very reason I stopped killing was because that hope vanished.

    I’d decided that if the class was lame I would kill the instructor, but thankfully, it was interesting.
