When John Wick arrives at the private airport, the security guard silently lets him pass while reading a paperback book. The book is "Shibumi" by Trevanian, a classic 1979 novel about an elite, retired assassin who is dragged back into the underworld. More importantly, the protagonist of that book famously kills his enemies with everyday objects, serving as a brilliant meta-reference to John Wick's own storyline and legendary pencil kills.
