Barry Eisler — One Last Kill

Penguin 2005 Paperback, 288pp. Assassin John Rain has a new employer the Mossad which wants him to fix a 'problem' in Manila and a new partner Dox whose good ol boy persona masks a sniper as deadly as Rain himself. He also has a new hope: that by using his talents in the service of something good he might atone for all the lives he has already taken. But when Rain's conscience causes him to botch an assignment, he finds out that he's Mossad's next target. And when Delilah, the alluring Israeli agent he once fought and then loved, reappears in his life, he can't be sure whether she is there to help him or to finish him off. Pages tanned, cover faded. (ISBN: 9780718148980). Good.
