Despite his ambivalence about his chosen trade, Rain carries out the hits with little remorse. Rain's adventures take him to the usual glamorous locales?Paris, London, Amsterdam?while throughout he remains nostalgic for his Japanese heritage. In a subplot, Rain's Mossad agent lover, Delilah, enlists some Israeli colleagues in an attempt to foil a major terrorist plot. The revelation of why the three murder victims were selected comes as the book's one real surprise."@en

Then he receives a message from rogue CIA operative Jim Hilger: WE HAVE YOUR FRIEND DOX. DO AS WE TELL YOU, OR THE SNIPER DIES. The choice ought to be easy: do the job - a series of three hits - and save his friend and partner. But how does Rain know Hilger won't just kill Dox once the assignment is complete? How does he know that each of the hits isn't also a set-up for Rain himself? Most of all, how can he control the killing rage that Hilger's lethal game of extortion reignites inside him?"
