Synopsis
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 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 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 fiance©, Cassie Wong, Belmontes turns up several leads that suggest someone is trying to frame him. But the closer he comes to discovering the identity of the murderer, the more incredible his situation becomes. Every clue points to a man who he knows is irrefutably dead. A Chinese crime boss, gunned down in a Chinatown alley-and Belmontes pulled the trigger.

December 10, 2005: 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.

November 01, 2005: 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.
