About this title

From the Back Cover:

Years ago, Nicholas Linnear promised that if ever Mikio Okami asked for help, he would give it. Now, With a summons to the beautiful, enigmatic city of Venice, the time has come. What Nicholas does not know is that Okami is the Kaisho, the boss of bosses of the Yakuza, the Japanese underworld.

In America, Mafia godfather Dominic Goldoni is killed in a bizarre, ritualistic fashion. Lew Croaker, ex-cop and Linnear's best friend, is persuaded out of retirement to follow a mysterious trail into something altogether darker and deeper than a gang war...

'The Kaisho' is a brilliant excursion into adventure and romance, intrigue and sex, providing a feast of insights into the mysteries of the oriental mind.

"A fast-moving thriller that combines the trademark Lustbader ingredients...a twisted web of intrigue, violence, double cross and his own brand of oriental esotericism. Here again he proves himself a master storyteller"
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"Lustbader returns stronger than ever...rich backgrounds...high-tension martial-arts battles"
