ISBN: 9781477824481.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturning to Tokyo in 1982 after a decade of mercenary work in the Philippines, a young John Rain learns that the killing business is now controlled by Victor, a half-Russian, half-Japanese sociopath who has ruthlessly eliminated all potential challengers. Victor gives Rain a choice: kill a government minister or die a grisly death. But the best route to the minister is through his gorgeous Italian wife, Maria, a route that puts Rain on a collision course not only with Victor but with the shadowy forces behind the Russians rise to dominance―and the longings of Rains own conflicted heart.\nIts a battle between kingpin and newcomer, master and apprentice, a zero-sum contest that can only end with one man dead and the other the worlds foremost assassin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thomas \u0026 Mercer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45788415230005,"sku":"ByrdShop_1477824480","price":65.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781477824481_41f39ba4-dff3-44be-85e9-feb382409f8e.jpg?v=1784746085","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/zero-sum-9781477824481","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
