It's a war Rain can't win, but also one he can't afford to lose--a war where the distinctions between friend and foe and truth and deceit are as murky as the rain-slicked streets of Tokyo."... a superlative job... entertaining and suspenseful enough to keep you turning the pages as fast as your eyes can follow."--Chicago Sun TimesIncludes a note from the author introducing the new edition.

Financial, of course, along with the ongoing chimera of moral redemption. But first, Rain will have to survive the a second assassin zeroing in on the target; the target's consort, an alluring and dangerous woman with an agenda of her own; the possibility that the entire mission is nothing but an elaborate setup. From the gorgeous beaches of Rio to the glitzy casinos of Macau to the gritty back streets of Hong Kong and Kowloon, Rain becomes a reluctant player in an international game far deadlier and more insidious than any he has encountered before."In his superb thriller series featuring charismatic Japanese-American assassin John Rain, author Barry Eisler serves up steamy foreign locales, stunning action and enough high-tech weaponry to make for an A-plus boys-and-their-toys read."--New York Daily NewsIncludes a note from the author introducing the new edition.
