In White Ninja, a sadist haunts the back alleys and sex clubs of Tokyo, picking up women, horrifically mutilating them, and leaving behind a calling card written in blood: This could be your wife.

He takes a job for the billionaire industrialist who ordered the murder, planning to befriend his target during a trip to Tokyo. But although he may look American, a childhood spent in the dojos of Japan taught Linnear that vengeance must never be hurried. In The Miko, Linnear vows revenge after his best friend dies under suspicious circumstances. Only he has the skill to stop a twisted killer with a personal vendetta.

In The Ninja, Linnear quits his job abruptly when he feels himself yearning for the life he led in Japan.
