About this listen

Previously published as Rain Fall

Name: John Rain.

Vocation: Assassin.

Specialty: Natural Causes.

Base of operations: Tokyo.

Availability: Worldwide.

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)

The story was actually very enjoyable. The author has a nice voice to listen to and a good cadence to just have in the back ground. I enjoyed the way Shibuya was captured and the interesting twist on the assassin tale. Its worth a listen
