Eric Lustbader is the bestselling author of ‘Second Skin, ‘The Kaisho, ‘The Miko and ‘White Ninja’, all starring Nicholas Linnear. He graduated from Columbia University in 1969. He spent fifteen years in the music industry, including working for both Elektra and CBS Records, and writing for ‘Cash Box’ magazine. He has also been a teacher. He lives with his wife in Southampton, New York.
Nicholas Linnear is threatened with the destruction of not just his business empire but his very soul. His investigation into the theft of his most advanced computer technology has led him and his friend Lew Croaker into a maze of terrifying connections between the Mafia, the Japanese Yakuza and the Government.
The trail leads Nicholas first to Vietnam, then back, eventually, to Japan. Here he must confront the legacy of his past.
Croaker, meanwhile, has become deeply embroiled in the workings of two organised crime families. With Johnny Leonforte, he could lose his life at any moment. With Margarite Goldoni, he has already lost his heart.
'Second Skin' takes Nicholas and Croaker on a vertiginous ride to salvation – or damnation. From Vietnam to Florida, from the immediate post-war years to the present day and just beyond, this is a tour de force of vibrant imagination, outstanding characterisation and great storytelling.
“No-one does it with more punch than Lustbader”

Softcover. Condizione: Fair. Spuren von Feuchtigkeit / Nässe; Leichte Abnutzungen; Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrücken. Nicholas Linnear, visionary hero of The Ninja, The Kaisho, and Floating City, returns in. Second Skin Eric Lustbader's powerful novels have established him as "an author of authentic and engrossing Oriental intrigue second to none" (Ib Melchior, Los Angeles Times Book Review ). Now the international bestselling master storyteller brings us a globe-spanning new novel of epic adventure. Nicholas Linnear is back -- to confront his most formidable and hated enemy. Nicholas Linnear won a major battle with the apocalyptic destruction of Floating City. But his enemy has taken flight from the city's ruins in Vietnam to regroup and mount the assault that will solidify his ultimate power -- and destroy Linnear. Mick Leonforte, an international corporate power broker as well as a criminal czar, is preparing to take on Linnear, his sworn nemesis, on the battleground where business and warfare become one. With the help of seasoned New York City police detective Lew Croaker and the dazzling, cunning Vesper Arkham, Linnear pursues his prey -- placing Koei, the woman he loves above all else, in the vengeful path of a criminal genius. And it will plunge Nicholas into the depths of Kshira -- the terrible force that even the master who trained him in the mysteries of psychic warfare was powerless to escape.
