Requiem for an Assassin
by Barry Eisler
Release Date: May 22, 2007


This sharply written, edge of your seat thriller will keep your heart pounding and fill your senses. You'll taste the flavor of exotic locals like Paris and Saigon and feel John Rain's wrenching conflict as he battles for a new life, one that leaves behind the killer he was trained to be.

In Rain's very realistic world there are no black and whites, no good guys and bad guys, but varying shades of gray as the politics and manipulations of governments and their henchmen play a deadly game with the world as their arena and people their pawns.

With his best friend a hostage and only days to live, John is forced back into the role of an assassin--a part of himself that he wants dead. As he races against time to save his friend, will John's hunt for the kidnappers unravel the twisted plot and ticking bomb of the delusional mastermind responsible? Or will John himself become unglued as he spirals back into a way of life sure to kill all hope of the future he so desperately wants.

A highly recommended five bed read.
