Barry Eisler — Rain Fall

Penguin 2003 Paperback, 391pp. John Rain, Assassin, follows his own code - he needs no one, trusts no one - until betrayal transforms him from hunter into hunted and loner into loyal friend. Haunted by the past Rain kills to order and leaves no trace, but the death at his hand of an old man has unforeseen complications. Some tanning; marks on text block edge. (ISBN: 9780141010106). Good.
