Name: John Rain.

Vocation: Assassin.

Specialty: Natural Causes.

Base of operations: Tokyo.

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...

Until he gets involved with Midori Kawamura, a beautiful jazz pianist - and the daughter of his latest kill.

A Clean Kill in Tokyo was previously published as Rain Fall, the first in the bestselling John Rain assassin series.

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

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

Superb
