Synopsis

Circa San Fernando Valley, California, September 1996.... The Detectives of the West Valley Devonshire Hills Precinct's Major Crimes Unit investigate a drive-by shooting on a busy West Valley Freeway and discover the victim is an infamous child sex-trafficker. This incident is followed by a flurry of killings, presumably connected to the trafficker’s competitor. Teaming again with Jeff Robinson, his longtime friend and partner, Major Crimes Unit Lieutenant Detective Len Morgan becomes involved in tracking down a notorious child sex-trafficker and drug cartel ringleader in Mexico. At the same time, the other Detectives in the Major Crimes Unit investigate the multiple shootings while seeking to weed out a dirty cop and possible hitman. Len Morgan's Asian half-brother, Wi, reluctantly putting aside a newly found romantic interest, returns to China to take on a separate hitman intent on killing him and his mother. It does become complicated.

About this title

About the Author

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.
