"Half American, half Japanese, expert in both worlds but at home in neither, John Rain is the best killer money can buy. You tell him who. You tell him where. He doesn't care about why ... Until he gets involved with Midori Kawamura, a beautiful jazz pianist--and the daughter of his latest kill"--Page 4 of cover.

“Am I that hard to talk to?” she asked, her voice gentle. 

“No,” I said, smiling into her dark eyes. “You’re easy. That’s the problem.”

I‘m not lying when I‘m telling you the book kept me on the edge of my seat. I was skeptical until the first 30 %, then I was hooked. I loved the twists and turns, the general plotline and I even enjoyed the action scenes (emphasizing this, because I normally get bored during fight scenes in movies 🫠).

We encountered a more mature version of John Rain in this installment even though I really appreciated knowing some of his background story from „Graveyard of Memories“.

One thing I perceived as rather unnecessary was the romance subplot - I know it was used to add more dramatic and tension but it was somehow pointless in my opinion.
