Sinopsis

Circa July-August, 1996 - San Fernando Valley, California… Newly retired from the Valley West Homicide unit, Len Morgan's attempt to become a Private Investigator gets off to a rocky beginning starting with the assassination of his longtime friend and new business partner, Nguyen Pham “Fast Eddie” Ky. Subsequently, Len finds himself pursuing two adversaries: gangster Emilio Ramos and 'Lotus Blossom', a female assassin, with each wishing to kill off the other. Ultimately, he rejoins the official investigative ranks at the Valley West Police Department in a newly formed Major Crimes Unit, teaming up with his former partner and long-time best friend, Jeff Robinson, along with two veteran homicide detectives recently drafted from the LAPD Major Crimes force. This tale takes the reader to Vietnam, Colorado, southern Texas and Mexico in a maddening sequence of bizarre events, though seemingly unrelated, finally come together.

Acerca del autor

About the Author, John Wright~ I retired as a Project Superintendent from commercial construction in 2001 and decided to fulfill a life’s ambition-- to write detective-fiction novels. I’d had the writing urge for most of my adult life. As a youngster, I marveled at what it must take to write books. In high school, one of my literature teachers once suggested that I should pursue a career in journalism. Ever the skeptic, I finally heeded his challenge in part decades later and spent years writing hundreds of published Political Blogs and Letters to the Editor. My initial attempt at writing crime-fiction came in late 1990, while snowed in at home for several days by a major Colorado winter storm that prevented me from going to work. Titled A Really Bad Day for Henry, it was my first, semi-serious attempts at writing crime-fiction. Afterward, I explained that I wanted to write a weird short story and I based the slovenly main character on a composite of several less than intellectual acquaintances I had known personally. In 1997, at the suggestion of an Internet chat-friend from Utah, I began writing A Scent of Suspicion. Self-published in 1999, it became the first in the Detective Len Morgan Series later followed by several popular sequels: His Father’s Sons, A Passion for Revenge, CHAOS ...and Cops! and Insania Interruptus. In 2013, I took a short break from fiction writing and put together a compilation of my earlier political Blogs and Editorial Letters and published an opinionated nonfiction book: Prodigious Political Ponderings & Prognostications ...a sobering glance back; slouching into the early Obama years. All of these writings are available in paperback at the Createspace eStore.com/ and as Kindle eBooks at Amazon.com.
