In a strange motel room, on the night before his wedding, retired Detective Sergeant Chad Belmontes awakens to a living nightmare. On the bed beside him is the body of a strangled hooker, and... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Price is back with a fast-moving, exciting story with his continuing character Chad Belmontes and Chad's feisty financee Cassie Wong. I really admire her courage in dealing with the gangsters. There is no putting this book down. I live on a Pacific Island, and I took the book with me to a fiesta, on a fishing boat, and had my wife drive us to a wedding, so I could finish the last three chapters on the road. If you want a close-up look at American-Chinese crime, and some romance and mystery, and some shooting and dead bodies, this is the book for you. Now that Chad has retired from the police, and getting married, what's his next move?
Imaginative Mystery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is a wonderfully imaginative mystery, which rapidly unfolds into a fast-pace action filled story. It's a commendable debut sequel to 'Lair of the Dragon,' and I'm surprised this author did not receive more recognition as a new mystery writer upon publication of his first book. Although 'Dragon's Ghost' does read well without having read the first book, I recommend reading 'Lair of the Dragon' first, which captures the personalities of the characters. And by the time one begins the sequel, he knows the players quite well. A good read that you won't want to put down until the very end.
AN ABSOLUTE PAGE TURNER
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Once again, Frederick Price has written a galvanizing book. I started reading, and couldn't stop. This book is a roller coaster that never slows down. Action, suspense, mystery ... it's all there in Dragon's Ghost. Price is a consummate story teller and his characters are believable and captivating. I haven't enjoyed a book the much in a very long time.
