For Delilah, the Mossad's top seductress, the parameters of the assignment were routine. The contractor: MI6. The objective: infiltrate a terror network, this one operating out of London. The stakes: a series of poison gas attacks on civilian population centers.There's just one wrinkle. The target is a woman - as smart, beautiful, and committed as Delilah herself. And for a cynical operative thrust suddenly out of her element, the twists and turns of the spy game are nowhere near as dangerous as the secrets and desires of the human heart.

Cum ajunge legendar un asasin? In cazul lui John Rain, decisive au fost lectiile de tradare, lupte si iubire pe care le-a primit in 1972, in Tokio. Cartea raspunde la multe intrebari despre John Rain. De unde si cum si-a dezvoltat gustul pentru jazz si whiskyul de calitate? De ce a fost exilat...

Tema operei Asasinul din Tokio: Furia samuraiului este o situatie strict personala, care reprezinta o intruziune in viata profesionala a distributiei mele de asasini – practic, reversul subiectelor romanelor anterioare, in care situatia profesionala reprezenta o intruziune in viata personala...

Eu si Delilah ne intersectaseram in Macao, unde am descoperit ca eram interesati amandoi de dealerul de arme Achille Belghazi pentru uciderea caruia fusesem angajat, dar pe care oamenii lui Delilah il doreau viu ca sa obtina de la el informatii importante. Intr-un final noi doi izbutiseram sa...

Cine era Delilah? In ce fel prezenta ei avea sa-mi afecteze operatiunea? Aceleasi intrebari, bineinteles, pe care si le punea si ea despre mine. Dupa felul cum se comportase, stiam ca era antrenata. De aceea, era mai probabil sa lucreze cu o organizatie, decat sa fi actionat intr-o misiune...

Dupa zece ani in care a luptat ca mercenar in Filipine, John Rain revine in Tokio, unde i se cere sa-l elimine pe ruso-japonezul Victor, care controleaza lumea asasinatelor din capitala Japoniei. Pentru a se apropia de acesta, intra in echipa lui si este trimis sa ucida un politician japonez...

Afacerea asasinatelor are propria-i atractie gravitationala si daca te apropii prea mult, sau daca ramai prea mult in preajma ei, nu te vei elibera niciodata. John s-a retras din activitate si de aceea curiozitatea ii este starnita cand i se propune o misiune misterioasa: sa aranjeze trei...

No aru taka wa, tsume o kakusu, cum spune un proverb japonez. Soimul iscusit isi ascunde ghearele. Traind discret si retras in Tokio, John Rain incearca sa-si evite vechea existenta de asasin, pana cand este abordat cu o oferta greu de refuzat. Rain si vechiul lui prieten Dox, alaturi de doi...

Am mers la un magazin cu articole pentru spionat din Shinjuku ca sa-mi cumpar cateva obiecte care aveau sa-mi fie necesare. Ceea ce oferea magazinul de vanzare aproape ca te speria: videocamere și microfoane mici cat gamalia de ac. Arme taser și spray-uri cu gaz paralizant. Freze diamantate...

Valeria Velez has just pulled off a stunning upset in California's 27th District, ousting ten-term corporatist incumbent Fillian Dunne from his seat in Congress. Young, beautiful, and idealistic, Valeria and her boyfriend/campaign manager Preston Jante are determined to use Valeria's new position to "stop stuffing the maw of the military machine" and return power to the people.

Detective Livia Lone ist zurück! Der zweite Band der fesselnden Thriller-Reihe von Ex-CIA-Agent Barry Eisler. Von Seattle fliegt Detective Livia Lone nach Thailand, das Land ihrer Herkunft. Sie soll hier eine Taskforce gegen Menschenhandel unterstützen. Insgeheim will Livia aber die Zeit für ihren persönlichen Racheplan nutzen. Sie muss den Drahtzieher Rithisak Sorm finden. Er und seine Mittelsmänner sind schuld am tragischen Schicksal von Livias Schwester.

Die unnahbare Livia Lone ist Detective bei der Polizei von Seattle. Und sie ist gut. Richtig gut. Spezialisiert auf Sexualdelikte, mit einem unbestechlichen Blick für die schrecklichen Begierden der Täter. Was niemand von ihren Kollegen weiß: Als Kind wurde sie mit ihrer kleinen Schwester Nason von den Eltern verkauft und strandete in Amerika, missbraucht von den Menschenhändlern, die sie ins Land schmuggelten. Seit die Schwestern getrennt wurden, ist es Livias Mission, Nason zu finden. Nie, nie, nie vergisst sie dieses eine höchste Ziel, während sie als Polizistin Täter hinter Gitter bringt. Oder direkt unter die Erde.

John Rain has disappeared to Brazil to escape the killing business and the enemies encircling him in Japan. But the CIA isn't willing to lose its premier "natural causes" contract killer, and they force Rain to take on a high-risk assignment: eliminate a ruthless arms dealer operating in Southeast Asia. The upside? Financial, of course, along with the ongoing chimera of moral redemption. But first, Rain will have to survive the downside: a second assassin zeroing in on the target; the target's consort, an alluring and dangerous woman with an agenda of her own.

Hunted and finally cornered, John Rain faces his deadliest enemy ever: himself. For Rain, "the most charismatic assassin since James Bond" (San Francisco Chronicle), getting out of the life was never going to be easy. But with a new identity in Paris, and the help of his lover, Mossad agent Delilah, he was beginning to leave the killing business behind. And then he receives a message from rogue CIA operative Jim Hilger: we have your friend Dox. Do as we tell you, or he dies.

For Larison, a man off the grid and on the run, the sleepy northern California town of Arcata, gateway to the state's fabled Lost Coast, seems like a perfect place to disappear for a while. But Arcata isn't nearly as sleepy as it seems, and when three locals decide Larison would make a perfect target for their twisted sport, Larison exacts a lifetime of vengeance in one explosive evening.

Torture. Ghost Detainees. And a massive cover-up that continues even today. Marooned in a Manila jail after a bar fight fatality, black ops soldier Ben Treven gets a visit from his former commander, Colonel Scott Horton, who explains the price of Ben's release: find and eliminate Daniel Larison, a rogue operator from Ben's unit who has stolen 92 torture tapes from the CIA and is using them to blackmail the U.S. government. But other players are after the tapes, too.

Als der legendäre Strohmann Colonel Scott "Hort" Horton den Auftragskiller John Rain in Tokio aufspürt, kann Rain seinem Angebot - einem Multi-Millionen-Dollar-Job - nicht widerstehen. Dafür muss er drei extrem hochrangige Ziele "unter natürlichen Umständen" ausschalten, die gefährlich nahe daran sind, einen Staatsstreich in den USA anzuzetteln.

Das Attentat auf große Distanz in Kambodscha sollte für Dox als ehemaligen Scharfschützen der Marines eigentlich ein ganz normaler Auftrag werden. Aber wenn man sich auf skrupellose Geheimdienstoperationen und wunderschöne Bargirls mitten im finsteren Zentrum des Menschenhandels einlässt, ist nichts mehr normal. Und die Sache persönlich zu nehmen, ist lebensgefährlich.
