    From Eric Van Lustbader, the suspense mastermind behind the smash bestsellers featuring Robert Ludlum’s™ Jason Bourne, comes a blockbuster thriller of one man’s debt of honor— and his ultimate destiny. Years ago, Nicholas Linnear—the Ninja—made a promise to his father: If a man named Mikio Okami ever sought his help, he would respond without question, no matter the cost. Now the time has come to fulfill his pledge. Okami is the Kaisho— the boss of bosses of the Yakuza, the Japanese underworld—and in his Venice headquarters, he realizes that he has been marked for death. But the identity of the assassin and the inexorable compulsion that drives him are shrouded in mysticism and madness. Honor bound to protect Okami, Linnear is prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice: a descent into a chasm of knowledge so potent, of dangers so unfathomable, that even if he survives, he will emerge changed forever.

    Druhá kůže je poslední ve volné řadě novel o Nicholasu Linearovi - Ninja, Miko, Kaišó a Plovoucí Město. Na scénu znovu vstupuje i Mikio Okami - Kaišó, tedy bos bosů Jakuzy. Ústřední dějovou osu napínavého příběhu tvoří bj mafiánských gangů o převratný vynález spojovací techniky "Cybernet", vraždy rituálním pěstním nožem a ve finále i úsilí o získání zásadního vlivu na ekonomiku v globálním měřítku. Autor tradičně střídá lokality od Japonska a Spojených států až po tetrospektivní návraty do válečné reality Jihovýchodní Asie. Hluboká znalost orientálního myšlení charakterizující všechna Lustbaderova díla vyniká i v této novele.
