From the Back Cover

Trained since boyhood in the Japanese Way of the Warrior, Michael Doss has grown to love peace more than violence. But his father’s sudden, violent death drags him into the bloody underworld of the Yakuza, and into a game in which power is the end, murder only a means.

In order to search for the truth behind his father’s life, Michael must return to the ancient Japanese Way he had thought to be a part of his past. In doing so, he comes face to face with his father’s secret life, a life sacrificed to a quest which Michael must now pursue.

“Intriguing, complicated tale, which keeps its pace and tension to the last”
