Publisher's Summary

All John Rain wants is to get out of the killing business. But with his discretion, his reliability, and his unique talent for death by "natural causes," no one is willing to let him just retire. So when an old nemesis from the Japanese national police force comes to him with a new job - eliminate Murakami, a killer even more fearsome than Rain himself - Rain knows he can't refuse. Aided by an achingly desirable half Brazilian, half Japanese exotic dancer he knows he shouldn't trust, Rain pursues his quarry through underground no-holds-barred fight clubs, mobbed-up hostess bars, and finally into the heart of a shadow war between the CIA and the yakuza. 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.

Excellent Narration and Story Imersion

As always , Barry Eisler narrates excellently .
His writing emerses you into the story and places , the ideas and feelings of characters .
Although I have lived in Japan and understand , I have been brave and reccomended this series to many , many Aussies , who have not , and gifted the books frequently. Once your hooked , you are hooked .
My problem ? I would have to write the exact same review for every book .

Great story exceptionally told

All round great storytelling. Enjoyed listening to the book from start to finish. A spy / undercover / conspiracy story as good as I've experienced reading the likes of Robert Ludlum. A real page turner or listener, in this case.
