Name: John Rain.

Vocation: Assassin.

Specialty: Natural Causes.

Base of operations: Tokyo.

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.

A Clean Kill in Tokyo was previously published as Rain Fall, the first in the bestselling John Rain assassin series.

Critic reviews

"Eisler provides a cracklingly good yarn, well written, deftly plotted, and surprisingly appealing… Thomas Perry and Lawrence Block need not retire their hit men quite yet, but Eisler is clearly a challenger." ( Boston Globe)

I tried 3 times to get into this book and the third try was the charm. I am very glad I stuck with it as it turned out to be great. Characters were laid out well plot could be followed (mostly) and a great ending leading me to find out what John does next... So I am off to start the next instalment

The Tokyo backdrop is prominent to say the least. An interesting approach to frame a very "Japanese" intrigue and story.
I liked it. A lot. A mix of noir, high tech and assassin action.

Easily one of the better author narrations I've listened to.

Tokyo almost overwhelms the good story.
