Eisler is an adept hand at pacing and suspense. --Publishers WeeklyTorn between his past as a soldier and his vocation as a killer, longing for attachment but forced to operate alone, and haunted by the fear that one day there must be a reckoning for the things he has done, John Rain moves like a dark ghost through Tokyo and the other urban landscapes in which his Asian features enable him to operate undetected. His ability to make death appear to have been of natural causes keeps his reluctant services in constant demand.
