    <body><![CDATA[It was fun, contemporary spy/assassin novel.  I think this was the second book with Rain in it &amp; I haven't read the first.  It stood alone well &amp; was pretty good.

This time, he's made his home in Brazil, hoping to blend in with the Japanese community in Sao Paolo/Rio and all places in between (it made me crave caipirinhas).

Assassin John Rain gets caught up in the usual intrigue, this time involving an Algerian gun merchant who half the CIA wants dead and the rest alive.
