Description
The Kaisho by Eric Van Lustbader is a gripping thriller that explores the complexities of honor and loyalty. Years ago, Nicholas Linnear made a promise to his father: if a man named Mikio Okami ever sought his help, he would respond without question, no matter the cost.
Now, the time has come to fulfill this pledge. Okami is the Kaisho - the boss of bosses of the Yakuza, the Japanese underworld - and in his Venice headquarters, he realizes that he has been marked for death. But the identity of the assassin and the inexorable compulsion that drives him are shrouded in mysticism and madness.
Honor bound to protect Okami, Linnear is prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice: a descent into a chasm of knowledge so potent, of dangers so unfathomable, that even if he survives, he will emerge changed forever.
