"Lustbader has honed the brooding, goose-bumply sensation of sudden, violent death likely to burst out of the darkness at any moment into a unique art form."
LOS ANGELES TIMES
Nicholas Linnear is helpless as he watches his love and his life careen out of control. He has discovered that he is shiro nive , a life of honor and truth amidst greed and corruption. And through it all, stalks a perverse madman through the seamy streets and bureaucratic mazes of Tokyo, destroying anyone who stands in his way, with deadly precision and otherworldly cunning. And the one man who can stop him, Nichaolas Linnear, is shiro ninja.

From the Back Cover:

Mourning the death of his daughter, tormented by the past, Nicholas Linnear is certain of only one thing: he doesn’t want to kill again. Once the ultimate master of love and death, he is now 'shiro ninja' – white ninja – no longer able to summon the disciples and powers that enabled him to live a life of honour and truth amidst greed and corruption.

As he is stalked by doubts and fears – and by an enemy with unheard of mystical powers – a torrent of death is suddenly unleashed, sweeping Nicholas towards his own nemesis. Only by discovering the secret of a new, higher power – a power he believed to be mythic but now knows to be real – can Nicholas bring peace to the maelstrom that surrounds him.

'White Ninja' is a novel of shattering intensity and passion.

“A man who understands both the Western and Oriental minds”
