A Lonely Resurrection

‘A Lonely Resurrection’ is the second book in the John Rain series by Barry Eisler. John Rain, a skilled assassin, yearns to leave the killing business behind. However, his reputation for discreet and seemingly natural deaths makes it impossible for him to retire. When an old nemesis from the Japanese national police force approaches him with a new job—to eliminate a killer even more fearsome than Rain himself—Rain can’t refuse. Assisted by an alluring half-Brazilian, half-Japanese exotic dancer whom he knows he shouldn’t trust,

Rain embarks on a pursuit that takes him through underground fight clubs, mobbed-up hostess bars, and into the heart of a shadow war between the CIA and the yakuza. The stakes are high, the lines between friend and foe blurred, and the rain-slicked streets of Tokyo serve as the backdrop for this gripping thriller.
