John Rain, Part IV… nice work yet again from the best of the best of the hit man thrillers. (Of course, I say this with all due respect to Lee Child.)

This time around, Rain finds himself in uncharted territory. As the title implies, the tables have turned after a botched job makes Rain a liability to the Mossad. Plus, as things heat up with Delilah, his Israeli secret agent love interest, Rain finds himself feeling vulnerable in ways he’d rather not.

This was also uncharted territory for Eisler to some degree: it’s the first time in the series we see other points of view beyond that of our hero. Eisler handled it with ease and it makes for a smart thrill ride, upping the stakes to the max for Rain and his crew.

Eisler continues to deliver.
