Good Pulp

I finished Rain Fall a few weeks ago, the first of a series from Barry Eisler.

An ex-military hitman who stops his victim's heart with a PDA.  The CIA, Yakuza, Tokyo, jazz music, Vietnam, small town New York State, and some paranoia.  Light snippets of Japanese interspersed through the novel for your pleasure...

It's pulp to make you think, to experience Tokyo, to think Japanese and American all at the same time. 

I don't read very quickly by any means and it was about a weekend's worth.  Try out the first chapter here [PDF link].
