![]() (Ninjas are like samurai, but are often hired by them to do dirty work samurai wouldn't touch.) Tomkin has two daughters-alcoholic nympho-lesbian Gelda (with whom he has had incest) and Justine, a rather deranged masochist who has fallen for Nicholas yet can't trust him-but the source of the conspiracy must be Japan-related. And Nicholas Linnear, who has given up a lucrative advertising job to recover his Japanese-bred soul, finds himself involved with saving the life of millionaire internationalist Tomkin-who is apparently the object of an oriental assassination project which features the handiwork of a ninja, a magically skilled killer with a sword and poisons. ![]() Weird murders are happening in New York, you see: a death by an exotic poison masked as a drowning, another man split from shoulder to pelvis by a sword stroke, etc. ![]() A Japanese-American erotic martial-arts thriller with a lust for fancy writing, a plot lifted from The Big Sleep and Fu Manchu, bloody pages strewn with haiku-all of it padded unmercifully with Japanese history and warrior lore. ![]()
