My Pick of the Week!

Contract killer, John Rain, is back in The Last Assassin by Barry Eisler. Rain discovers that he has a child after a brief affair with Midori, the daughter of a man Rain killed. He wants to get out of the "business" but his enemies are using Midori and his son as leverage to get to Rain. Rain teams up with a sniper and a Mossad agent to deal with the Yakuza and Triads. The non stop action is mainly set in Japan but Rain does go to New York City and Barcelona. This is Rain's fifth action packed outing and one not to be missed. For fans of crime novels with well drawn characters, realistic fight scenes, and exotic locales.
