From the Back Cover
Trained since boyhood in the Japanese Way of the Warrior, Michael Doss has grown to love peace more than violence. But his father’s sudden, violent death drags him into the bloody underworld of the Yakuza, and into a game in which power is the end, murder only a means.
In order to search for the truth behind his father’s life, Michael must return to the ancient Japanese Way he had thought to be a part of his past. In doing so, he comes face to face with his father’s secret life, a life sacrificed to a quest which Michael must now pursue.
“Intriguing, complicated tale, which keeps its pace and tension to the last”

Format:Paperback
This book is a highly enjoyable thriller, fascinating to last final page. The focus on japanese culture and martial arts make this book as educating while being good stuff to read with a well designed plot. Another classic from the no. one far-east thriller author eric van lustbader. enjoy this book as i did.
Format:Paperback
I did like this book. Loads of fast fighting action. The Far East culture has either been very well researched or the author knows it inside out. The book kept me gripped from begining to end.
Very good but not quite a 5 star book for me.
