Mourning the death of his daughter, tormented by the past, Nicholas Linnear is certain of only one thing: he doesn't want to kill again. Once the ultimate master of love and death, he is now 'shiro ninja' - white ninja - no longer able to summon the disciples and powers that enabled him to live a life of honour and truth amidst greed and corruption.As he is stalked by doubts and fears - and by an enemy with unheard of mystical powers - a torrent of death is suddenly unleashed, sweeping Nicholas towards his own nemesis. Only by discovering the secret of a new, higher power - a power he believed to be mythic but now knows to be real - can Nicholas bring peace to the maelstrom that surrounds him.

'White Ninja' is a novel of shattering intensity and passion.
