Half American, half Japanese, expert in both worlds but at home in neither, John Rain is the best killer money can buy. You tell him who. You tell him where. He doesn’t care about why...

Critic reviews

"Eisler provides a cracklingly good yarn, well written, deftly plotted, and surprisingly appealing… Thomas Perry and Lawrence Block need not retire their hit men quite yet, but Eisler is clearly a challenger." ( Boston Globe)

Excellent story, very rich yet subtle performance.

Excellent story, very rich yet subtle performance being able to make things sound tense at the right times without yelling at the listener.

Superb

Anyone who thinks that the author should not have given this performance is dead wrong. No one could have matched his ability to speak those mango juice and this action packed book held my attention as much as any other has done, including my favorite guy, Mitch Rapp

Bilingual not helping

Basic story seems ok but as others have said, the mixed language is unnecessary

Fantastic first in series

This book is fantastic. I usually steer clear of books read by the author, but Eisler does a commendable job. I highly recommend!
