FORTUNES ARE AT STAKE, AND THEY ARE NOT IN THE COOKIES!
***
Alton Rhode sets out to buy some Chinese takeout food, only to become involved in a possible war between rival Tongs. But that is just the beginning in a mystery that soon spirals out of the private eye's control. It includes arson, and an assassination that hits very close to home. A vengeful Rhode's investigation alienates friends and foes alike. And almost gets him killed.

“A LAWRENCE DE MARIA TITLE GIVES YOU MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK THAN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING IN THE BOOK MARKETPLACE TODAY.” (Florida Weekly); “A MASTER OF THRILLER DIALOGUE.” (Washington Independent Review of Books); “WHILE DE MARIA MAY HAVE BEEN AN AWARD-WINNING FINANCIAL REPORTER, HE'S AN AWFULLY GOOD FICTION WRITER AS WELL.” (Naples Daily News)
***
I keep reading and enjoying De Maria's novels. His fertile mind catches onto broad themes which become page turners.

“I read a lot and for many years. I enjoy many authors but years ago found Michael Connelly, a writer I enjoyed like no other. I assumed I would not find another author who I so thoroughly enjoyed, but then I found Lawrence De Maria. His writing is excellent and, in my opinion, reaches the same high standard as Connelly. Anyone who enjoys mysteries with non-stop suspense and believable characters and plots will enjoy De Maria. I will be reading all of De Maria's novels and then, as with Connelly, waiting for his newest work to be published. I highly recommend this Author.���
