"Returning to Tokyo in 1982 after a decade of mercenary work in the Philippines, a young John Rain learns that the killing business is now controlled by Victor, a half-Russian, half-Japanese sociopath who has ruthlessly eliminated all potential challengers. Victor gives Rain a choice: kill a government minister or die a grisly death. But the best route to the minister is through his gorgeous Italian wife, Maria, a route that puts Rain on a collision course not only with Victor but with the shadowy forces behind the Russian's rise to dominance--and the longings of Rain's own conflicted heart."--Jacket flap.… (mais)

New John Rain thriller and it is truly good one (as is complete series in my opinion).
This time we go back in time to Rain's return to Japan after spending quite some time in Philippines working as a mercenary. Going through his old contacts he tries to find himself steady job in his profession [weird, I know but this is shady world and assassins always try to find their unique niche so this might be called job ... although it does sound ... weird doesn't it :) ) only to find that assassin underworld of Tokyo is controlled by newcomers who are not willing to give up their market control.

Told from the current-day John point-of-view, this is excellent novel that has everything, shady criminals, shady intelligence operatives, down-to-the-earth approach to combat and spies trying to outsmart other spies.

Highly, highly recommended. ( )

Another excellent read filling in some of the gaps in Rain's earlier life.

This has been a great series. ( )

Outstanding addition to the John Rain series. Great writing, superb plot and characters, wonderful atmosphere and details. If you like thrillers and don't already love Barry Eisler's books, I definitely recommend you get started on them - including this one - now... ( )

Assassin John Rain is back in Tokyo, after spending many years hiding out in the Philippines. However, the landscape has changed and his services are not needed as a half Japanese-half Russian sociopath named Victor, has a monopoly on local killings. John asks for an introduction because he needs work, and has to earn his way into Victor's good graces at his introductory meeting. He is given an assignment to kill a member of the Japanese Diet or be killed. While he bides his time, Rain assembles his friends and resources to arrange a showdown with Victor, but along the way is able to determine that there are American forces at work too. Rain also manages to fall for his victim's attractive Italian wife. Taut plot, with Eisler's knowledge of Tokyo and espionage showing as always. ( )
