Review: Well written crime novels set in Japan by an author familiar with the setting.

Barry Eisler knows how to write. He is thoroughly professional in his endeavors. His novels are page turners - even if I don't approve of assassination, I read them. I also appreciate very much his descriptions of Japan.  Also, he understands the ambiguous status of the children of G.I.s and Japanese wormen - in both Japan and the U.S. - he draws a strong portrait of what it means to be the Other.
