Lair of the Dragon: It began with a simple lie. A concocted report,
written by a veteran cop, to close what he thought was an unworkable case.
And it wasn't intended to hurt anyone. When Metro Detective Sergeant Chad
Belmontes wraps up a case by falsely reporting he has met with the witness,
he unwittingly gives the witness an alibi for murder. Caught up in his lie,
he attempts to find the witness before his superiors can discover the truth.
But the witness has vanished. And what the detective doesn't know, but will
soon learn, is that his bogus report has set in motion a scenario of death
and deceit that will threaten to end his career–and his life. The more he
searches for the witness, the more complicated things become. It turns into
a game of cat and mouse leading to a ruthless Chinese crime boss who will go
to any lengths to prevent Belmontes from finding the witness and uncovering
the real reason behind his mysterious disappearance.

My novel, Dragon's Ghost, is currently
available in trade paperback, through a bookstore near you. This
continuing mystery series features retired Detective Sergeant Chad Belmontes, late
of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Dragon's Ghost: In a strange motel room, on the night before his wedding, retired
Detective Sergeant Chad Belmontes wakens to a living nightmare. On the
bed beside him is the body of a strangled hooker, and everything points to
him as her killer. With no memory of how he got there, or who the
dead woman is, he flees the grisly scene determined to find out what
really happened. To learn the answer he must— without a badge to open
doors for him—begin his own desperate search for the truth. And he must
find it before the police arrest him for murder.
With the help of his fiancée, Cassie Wong, Belmontes turns up several leads
that suggest someone has tried to frame him. But the closer he comes to
discovering the identity of the person responsible, the more incredible his
situation becomes. For every clue points to a man that he knows is
irrefutably dead. A Chinese crime boss, gunned down in a Chinatown
alley—and Belmontes pulled the trigger.
