Out With a Bang (John Rain)

Out With a Bang (John Rain)

John Rain, a skilled assassin with over thirty-five years of hard living behind him, is a man looking to retire. As a survivor in a line of work where men rarely see their fortieth birthday, Rain is finally beginning to feel like a man turning sixty. Determined to take some time to consider his long-term options, he creates a new identity and drops off the grid.

He travels to Seattle, Washington, where he plans to attend a reunion with his old military unit, enjoy some live jazz and contemplate his future. His goals are simple: personal reflection; total relaxation. What he encounters when he arrives, however, is anything but relaxing.

Rain discovers that the twin sister of an old Army buddy has been kidnapped. Mark Jackson had fought alongside Rain and Jimmy “Crazy Jake” Calhoun as part of a joint military-CIA collaboration during the Vietnam War. The three men had been deposited into the bush for several weeks at a time, without food, cut off from communication and disavowed by the government. It fell on them to complete the most clandestine, risky and bloody assignments of the war. Mark had saved Rain’s life on many occasions, and the reverse was also true.

Though he had not seen Mark in nearly forty years, Rain does not hesitate when he hears of his friend’s dilemma and vows to help Mark find his sister. His investigation reveals a complex situation involving the Russian mob and a drug lord. Rain soon discovers the victim is being held captive. Millions of dollars had been stolen from the Russians by a corrupt undercover agent during a gun racketeering bust. The drug lord discovered a link between Mark’s sister and the whereabouts of the money and planned to use her as a pawn to recover the cash without making the Russians aware.

With the clock ticking and none of his usual resources at his disposal, Rain uses his wits and experience to uncover pieces of a puzzle that will lead him to Mark’s sister. Along the way, he engages two very unlikely allies, both of whom have agendas of their own. Though his usual methodology involves causing deaths that look natural, John Rain has no time for careful planning. He systematically chips away at the drug lord’s organization, creating a bloody swath in his wake, leaving those in his way in a state of chaos.

When a rescue attempt is thwarted, Rain seeks an alliance with an unlikely source, the Russian mob, setting up a nail-biting confrontation when all three parties meet in an explosive finale.
