Eisler is an adept hand at pacing and suspense. -- Publishers Weekly Torn between his past as a soldier and his vocation as a killer, longing for attachment but forced to operate alone, and haunted by the fear that one day there must be a reckoning for the things he has done, John Rain moves like a dark ghost through Tokyo and the other urban landscapes in which his Asian features enable him to operate undetected. His ability to make death appear to have been of "natural causes" keeps his reluctant services in constant demand. Barry Eisler, a graduate of Cornell Law School, has practiced various aspects of international law, including a year with the Japanese law firm of Hamada & Matsumoto in Tokyo and two years as in-house counsel at the Osaka headquarters of Matsushita Electric & Industrial. Mr. Eisler earned his black belt in judo, and lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area. Michael McConnohie, a native of Mansfield, OH, has been in the film and voiceover business for over forty years.
