Just finished Barry Eisler's John Rain novel, Rain Storm. Has the same magic as Rain Fall and Hard Rain.
The assassin John Rain is a man haunted by ghosts isolated and alone except when he isn't, which turns out to be much of the time. He does have friends and relationships and we see more develop in this book.
Eisler is a fine writer, delving into tradecraft and martial arts and the psyche of John Rain all in a context of real places and real or feasible events. His afterwords that reveal the assistance and sources are a joy to read.
Highly superior series. If you want a thoughtful, intelligent action read and don't mind mayhem and murder, try something by Eisler.
