Editor's Note:
Deadly "Akiko" retires from killing to restore a Zen temple on a remote island off Japan. But violent people won't let her alone.THE LONELINESS OF THE BLUE-EYED ASSASSIN is the first in a planned series of crime thrillers dealing with the life of a half-Japanese half-American young woman who also happens to be a highly paid assassin code-named Akiko. Born in Okinawa to a heroin-addicted American ex-Marine and a Japanese bar girl, the blue-eyed, black-haired Molly Vance grew up in San Francisco until age nine, when her father died mysteriously. She was then brought to Tokyo and raised by her father's friend, a yakuza gangster. As a teenager, she was trained in martial arts by the head of an ancient cult of tattooed female assassins called the Habu Kurage, or Medusas. Following her adopted father's death in a yakuza war, she began working worldwide for a shadowy group known only as the Organization, and quickly gained renown as the deadliest woman alive. But, after glimpsing an underlying pattern and suddenly realizing the Organization's motives behind the "hits" she is assigned, Akiko risks it all to help one of her targets escape. She then disappears from view, going to live in an abandoned mountain temple on a remote island off the coast of Japan. Both the Organization and the Medusas are now determined to find Akiko -- and kill her. Even worse, they have found a way to get to her through people in her past. To save their lives and her own, she must unleash all her fury.In this novel Molly Vance, living under a false name, is busy restoring the ruined Zen temple as a way of purging her dark karma. At the same time she is falling in love with the remote island's only policeman, a young man named Jiro Takagi, whom she begins to train in the sword. One day she gets a letter from her adopted father's former mistress. The woman's teenaged daughter was kidnapped by Chinese gangsters on a trip to San Francisco and is being forced to work as a prostitute in a sleazy massage parlor. Akiko travels to San Francisco to get the girl back and soon finds herself fighting for her life against a hired kung fu master. Though Akiko survives almost unscathed, retrieves the girl and returns to her island, the head of the Medusas has now gotten word of her whereabouts, and sends assassins. After Takagi is badly hurt trying to save her life, Akiko realizes that she cannot run away any longer -- that she must face her former teacher in a combat to the death."Akiko" is like a female Jason Bourne, James Bond, or Nicolai Hel (the reluctant assassin hero of Trevanian's SHIBUMI). Each novel in the series is fast paced, cleanly written, and structured as economically as a Simenon mystery or an Ian Fleming Bond novel. Though Akiko is the central character we get immersed in many other characters, places and situations, so each novel has its own mood and "feel," and stands on its own. This opening novel gives us Akiko's painful backstory, shows her fighting like a fury to save her friends, and at the end launches her on a completely unexpected path.A damaged but appealing protagonist whom I hope everybody will want to cheer on as she fights impossible odds using only her finely honed skills and wits, plenty of sharp martial arts action reminiscent of samurai and yakuza movies (including Tarantino's BILL 1 and 2 and just about anything by Takashi Mike), exotic settings, and strong, evocative, sensual writing. That's about it. Enjoy reading!
