Synopsis

Previously published as Killing Rain and One Last KillAfter nearly dying while taking out a target in Hong Kong, Rain has a new employer, the Mossad, which wants him to fix a "problem" in Manila. He also has a new partner, Dox, whose good-ol'-boy persona masks a sniper as deadly as Rain himself. And he has a new hope: that by using his talents in the service of something good, he might atone for all the lives he has taken. But when Rain's conscience causes him to botch the Manila hit, he finds out the next problem the Mossad wants fixed is himself. Is Delilah, his Mossad lover, coming to help him? Or was she sent to finish him off?"Exhilarating…Eisler unspools a plot full of warring secret government connections, cool spy paraphernalia, and vivid martial-arts sequences." —Entertainment Weekly

Goodreads review by Jim

Another good entry in the John Rain series. He spends a little too much time dwelling on his morals or personal philosophy, but it does make a good point - do the means justify the end?

Goodreads review by Andrew

This was my first introduction to John Rain, assassin for hire. Coming to the series having sidestepped the first three books did leave me exposed to the gaps in my knowledge of his history.

Goodreads review by Harry

All right, so I appear to be hunting for a specific character: from Jack Reacher (Lee Child), to Jonathan Quinn (Brett Battles), onto John Rain (Barry Eisler).
