"[John Rain is] the most charismatic assassin since James Bond."-"San Francisco Chronicle" For John Rain, getting out of the life was never going to be easy. But with a new identity in Paris, and the help of his lover, Mossad agent Delilah, he was beginning to leave the killing business behind. And then he receives a message from rogue CIA operative Jim Hilger: "We have your friend Dox. Do as we tell you, or the former Marine sniper dies." For a professional like Rain, the choice ought to be easy: do the job, and save his friend and partner. But how does Rain know Hilger won't kill Dox anyway, once the assignment is complete? How does he know that the hits aren't a setup for Rain himself? Most of all, how can he control the killing rage that Hilger's lethal game of extortion reignites inside him? From the deceptively tranquil beaches of Bali, to the backstreets and boulevards of Paris, to the urban canyons of Silicon Valley and New York and the old killing fields of Vietnam, Rain must grapple with his age, his enemies, and most of all, with the killer inside himself-in a battle that not even Rain can hope to survive intact.

Eisler's John Rain series is one of the best serials I've ever read. If you like thrillers, you will like these stories about a Japanese American, a Vietnam vet and a trained assassin with all the skills (and weapons) of James Bond. I have read all of the preceding novels in the series and this one is as good as the first.
