Overview

Suppose you had to kill three people to save your best friend's life? For John Rain, it should be easy: three fast hits and disappear. But what if you figured your friend is probably going to die anyway? What if you started to think the whole thing was a setup? And what if you were afraid three was just the beginning? John Rain's going to give it a shot.

Editorial Reviews

Patrick Anderson
… it's an exciting, fast-moving tale, and logic be damned. Eisler makes it easy for us to buy into it because he writes good dialogue and action scenes and gives his characters a fair amount of depth.
— The Washington Post
From The Critics
What, John Rain is quitting the assassination business? Not before a rogue CIA operative kidnaps his best friend, threatening murder if Rain doesn't carry out three more hits. With a national tour. Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.

    A typical "thriller".

    Decent character development, but they still appear like cardboard cutouts at times. The plot is good, but tried and true. Not much new territory covered.

    Great read, maybe the best of the Rain series!

    Barry takes us further into the mind of a "good" assassin and the struggles to fit into regular life. Very interesting.

    Filled with internal struggle.

    I have read the entire series of 'John Rain' novels and each one is better than the last. 'Requiem' fullfills everything expected of John Rain and adds a new character making this novel the most well rounded of the bunch.

    Don't Quit, John!

    Fans of John Rain (and Barry Eisler) all no doubt hope that retirement is only a remote hope for our favorite killer. In Requiem For An Assassin, John Rain once more returns to do good and save the day, but his heart doesn't seem in it so much anymore. He's been to too many good hotels and fine cafes to see the down and dirty jungles and cesspools of crime anymore. Yet for all my love of his work, this time I think John could have tried just a little bit harder. Sure, killing can get old after a while. But for us readers, John, you can't go soft. In this book you start to slide a little. If you really want to retire, hurry up and train that Japanese guy to take your place so Eisler can keep writing the true grit and skip the Parisian fineries. Or is it Eisler who is going soft?

    Great Rain thriller

    John Rain is an assassin ready to retire. He lives in Paris with his lover Delilah an Israeli agent who kills when the situation warrants it which doesn¿t make it easier for Rain to shed his old habits. Half a world away a mercenary group led by Jim Hilger has worked out a plan to kidnap Rain¿s friend Dox in order to get the professional killer to do three hits. When Dox is in their hands they contact Rain and order him to kill three people but if he makes it look like accidents they will free Dox. --- Rain doesn¿t believe Hilger will let Dox go but he agrees to do the assignment in order to buy time. He needs to locate where Hilger has stranded Dox and free him because he knows the man will kill him just as he knows that Jim plans to take him out as hit number three. The first hit is the CEO of a CIA funded neural net database company the second victim is Michael Accinalli CEO of petrochemical industries. After Rain kills the two targets, one of Hilger¿s henchmen tries to take him out and fails. Now Rain has to find Dox and rescue him and foil Hilger¿s plan that would cause panic throughout the world. --- Barry Eisler writes a great thriller with an unusual protagonist. Part of him is the cold murderer he calls the ice man while the evolving Rain starts to feel and care. There is plenty of action as Rain travels around the world trying to find his enemy¿s goal which is not what the audience believes it is. Hilger has become what Rain was and Hilger likes that person which makes the audience dislike him and root for Rain to take him out on top. REQUIEM FOR AN ASSASSIN is the quintessential cat and mouse thriller with fans wondering just who the rodent is and who the feline is. --- Harriet Klausner
