This book is about John Rain, who is similar to Jason Bourne, a highly trained assassin. Rain is half Japanese and half American and lived in both worlds. He is a former Vietnam War commando. He is haunted by his past and by his present.  Eisler has written a brilliant series of books, novellas, and shorts about his character.  This story is a short piece.  It's a kind of vignette about a dinner date with a hot blonde Mossad agent and the fallout.  It feels like the start of a new novel but it isn't.  It has all the feel of A Clean Kill in Tokyo except they are in Paris not in Tokyo. Most of the reviews are gripes about the price.  I'm not complaining.  For less than a buck I was entertained.  It serves to continue the story of Rain.  It is also a prequel to the novella London Twist, which makes a number of references to the fight scene in this short.  London Twist, which I Am currently reading, appears to continue Mossad Agent Delilah's story.  All in all, this is well worth your time especially if you are reading this series.  If you are not, then start with the full length novels.
