If I’m walking toward a door at let’s say, the post office and someone holds the door open for me, I would never fail to say, “Thank you.”
It dawned on me that I’ve been remiss by not thanking those who’ve written favorable reviews of my novels. Over the last few months, I’ve been thanking people for taking the time to express their pleasure in reading my books.
To all those who wrote positive reviews before this thought came to me, I want to thank you for your kind words. They are very much appreciated.

Barry Eisler’s John Rain novels are the “Tiffany” of assassin-oriented, suspense thrillers. The recently released Graveyard of Memories is a prequel to the other novels in the John Rain series. At the story’s outset, Rain, 20 years old and fresh from Vietnam, is a courier for the CIA. He suddenly finds himself threatened on all sides: he must survive the yakuza (the Japanese mob) and other imminent sources of danger. He falls in love with Sayaka, a beautiful wheelchair-bound young woman. Balancing love and the horror of what he must do to survive, John learns his trade craft to become a master assassin. We witness his unfolding maturity as he attempts to stay alive without totally losing the sensitive, soulful and remorseful aspects of his persona.

Hell would freeze over before I’d do any cooking back then—especially since I lived alone in Manhattan. So I ate out every night.
