Reseña del editor

In each life, the wheel of karma turns. Martial artist Connor Burke, who continues to labour under the stern tutelage of Yamashita Sensei, is drawn into a murder investigation involving a mysterious martial arts master named Kita Takanobu who has created a powerful new age synthesis of Tibetan mysticism and the lethal heritage of the samurai. The trail of blood ultimately leads to the Yamaji, Kita's elite mountain temple, where Burke will face his deadliest challenge ever.
