The Hit-and-Run Family 2
Tomoko has been dating Shingo Kawai, an associate professor at a certain women’s university, for three years. Frustrated by the lack of progress in their relationship, she forgot she was driving and launched into a furious tirade at Shingo. Just then, a man named Tadokoro darted out into the road. Forced into a staged accident to settle a debt, he was the unluckiest bloke imaginable—crashing into Shingo’s estate car instead of his intended target, a Mercedes. Panicked, Shingo and Tomoko shoved the limp Tadokoro into the boot and made a narrow escape. That was their stroke of luck. The car, still carrying Tadokoro, was stolen by someone, and next it was used as a getaway vehicle by kidnappers… Unbeknownst to Shingo and Tomoko, the car went on to commit a string of crimes!
