Paris Is A Bitch -- A Rain/Delilah Short Story

by Barry Eisler

Overview

"Rain's combination of quirks and proficiency is the stuff great characters are made of."
-<i>Entertainment Weekly</i>

"Eisler combines the insouciance of Ian Fleming, the realistic detail of Tom Clancy, the ennui of Graham Greene and the prose power of John le Carré." -<i>News-Press</i>

By internationally bestselling author Barry Eisler, PARIS IS A BITCH is the short story debut of John Rain, "the most charismatic assassin since James Bond" (<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>).

For most couples, a quiet dinner for two in Paris would be just the thing to smooth out the complications in a romance. But for gorgeous Mossad operative Delilah and trying-to-retire contract killer John Rain, nothing is ever easy. When it comes to killing, business and pleasure are the most dangerous mix of all.

PARIS IS A BITCH clocks in at about 8,500 words, or approximately 35 pages in print. The download comes with additional material and extras, including an essay called Personal Safety Tips from Assassin John Rain, which provides information that will be at least as valuable to civilians as it has been to Rain.
