Hard-edged thriller featuring John Rain, a half-American, half-Japanese hit man living in Tokyo. First in a series and I will definitely be reading more. Good intrigue, lots of cultural detail about Japan and a likable main character, despite the despicable work he does.

The first in the series of John Rain books. This is a good action story taking place in Tokyo. It has a twisting plot, but not misleading, and keeps you guessing who the good guys are. I will be sure to read the next in the series.

OK thriller. Hero is a half-Japanses half-American who lives in Japan and is a professional hit-man with a shadowy military past. Not nearly as good as Lee Child or Stephen Hunter novels.

John Rain kills people. For a living. His specialty: making it seem like death by natural causes. But he won't take out just anyone, The job must be an exclusive. The target must be a principle player. And he'll never murder a woman.
