Publisher's Summary:

The police are reluctant to believe young Lucy Paige when she tells them that she saw two men chasing a woman across a field. They suspect her of inventing a mysterious stranger, who hit her, and then ran away, in order to protect her friend Martin, from accusations of child abuse and assault. But they have to reassess her story, when a woman's body is found a few days later, and Lucy recognizes it as her attacker. Who is the corpse in the graveyard? Why was she running away? And who were the men that Lucy saw chasing her?

Lucy, meanwhile, is more concerned about her police inspector friend, Jonah Porter and his rehabilitation, after being paralyzed in a shooting incident. He seems to be falling into a pit of depression - until her tale of a vanishing stranger with a distinctive tattoo catches his imagination, and inspires him to do some armchair detective work of his own.

Publisher's Summary:

When a child goes missing, the amount of resources that authorities use is substantial. Abduction cases are taken very seriously by all of the parties involved - none more so than Chase Grant, a detective in Seattle's 18th precinct. The clock starts the moment he gets the call from a parent - and the first 12 hours are crucial. Every move counts, and every choice matters. If he missteps, then a child might not come home. But today was different. He got a call about a missing child. And then another, and another, and another....

******Cliffhanger******

I just read PART of a book! All I ask of authors and publishers is to tell the reader when the story is a cliffhanger! That is not asking too much; then, I, the reader, can see if the rest of the book is already for sale so I can make an informed decision. If the rest of the story is not available as in this case, I do NOT want to read the first part! A book should have a beginning, middle, and end! Sometimes the reader ends up paying a lot just to get the rest of the story; that just seems like a gimmick and I don't appreciate being manipulated. Some readers like cliffhangers; I'm not one of them.

If you like cliffhangers, this is a doozy! Two detectives in Seattle are looking for pre-teen girls who have been carefully selected for kidnapping by pedophiles. There is also a group in the area doing sex trafficking called the "Web" and they are beyond vicious! The writing is fast-paced and the storyline is dark! Both detectives are interesting and likable.

Bah! Another "Book" With No Ending. :-(

I detest books without an ending. I should have read the reviews on this one and if I had, I never would have bought it. If an author doesn't have enough confidence in his/her work to complete a book, I refuse to be blackmailed into buying another to learn how ends. Nope. Won't do it. If this book had an ending, chances are very good I would have bought more from this author. And much as I want to know how it all ends, I refuse to be forced into it. Authors, get a clue! Believe in your work and write a book! A book...it ends, got it? Stop trying to con readers into buying your work. All it does is irritate them and lead to poor reviews. I would have given this book a higher rating, but it's not a book; it's an unfinished story.

I hate a book that leaves me dangling.

Good engaging story line. However I like a book to have a conclusion. The story line can continue in next book without leaving the reader unsatisfied. I am unsatisfied

Stupid Characters

The cops use procedures that would get any evidence thrown out of court. They intentionally risk themselves and others, even though there are safer actions they can take.

[SPOILER]

And the main character intentionally shoots a kidnapper, knowing the victims are still being held by the kidnappers accomplices, leading to the death of all of the victims. To make matters worse, the police supervisors leave the main character on the job, rather than taking his gun and badge like they should.

[END SPOILER]

There isn't even an ending. Nothing is wrapped up. The book just ends with a lead-in to the next book in the series.

CLIFFHANGER!!!!!

Truly pissed off. The book and plot deserve five stars.

However I am really sick of these authors who leave you hanging.

Im Polizeihof Landshut wird ein toter Polizist gefunden. Der Letzte, der mit dem Barschl zu tun hatte, war Franz Eberhofer. Und der Tote war ausgerechnet sein direkter Vorgesetzter - und absoluter Erzfeind. Blöderweise handelt es sich bei der Mordwaffe auch noch um Franzls Hirschfänger. Das SEK untersucht das Verbrechen und Franz steht schnell ganz oben auf der Liste der Verdächtigten. Um seine Unschuld zu beweisen, beginnt er, in seinem eigenen Fall zu ermitteln.

In Ed Herzogs Verfilmung sorgt das grandiose Ensemble um Sebastian Bezzel wieder für jede Menge Spaß und Spannung. Auf keinen Fall verpassen!

Critic Reviews:

Vist har forfatteren flot styr p detaljerne og sans for en inddt personkarakteristik. Foruden et naturligt kendskab til et lillesamfund i en amerikansk sydstat. Vigtigere er det, at hun demonstrerer en fortllekunst, der bringer de helt store forgngere i erindring. Denne forunderlige historie dkkes mske allerbedst af glosen: overddig.

-- Kristeligt Dagblad

"Den lille ven" er usdvanlig velskrevet.

Title: Asian Haze

Author: DeWayne Twitchell

Narrator: Al Remington

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-27-17

Publisher: Lang Book Publishing, Limited

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

DeWayne Twitchell has released his latest novel about secrets, drugs, and mystery. This book captures the listener quickly into the storyline and captures the heart of the listener. Randall has a PhD in history and teaches at a college in a small city in New York State. He is also a former undercover DEA agent and present part-time private investigator. He has secrets - dark ones. Randall Arthur's first real case involves the widow of a man he once worked with, a man he saw die in an explosion in Asia. The widow has been receiving eerie phone calls, saying that the truth about her husband's death has yet to be revealed. And the caller has directed her to Randall Arthur. The case he is about to take on will take him to the streets of his hometown of Falcon City, NY, and to Australia. It will cause him to relive events he does not necessarily want to relive. It will give him the chance to rectify the failure of his last mission with the DEA a few years ago, where the man they were after escaped and left several of Randall's colleagues dead. The man is now apparently selling a new type of heroin, which has reached the streets of Falcon City and has killed a young user. It will lead him to look insanity right in the face.

Members Reviews:

"Asian Haze" has an interesting plot and an imaginative scope

I have to admit that I am conflicted about this novel: On one hand, there is a lot to like about it while, on the other, I had a hard time relating to the characters. Because of that I wavered between describing it as a 3-star or a 4-star book. I settled on 4 stars because of the scope of "Asian Haze" and the plot, which does contain a couple of interesting twists.

I don't want to spoil the story for those that haven't yet read it so I won't delve too deeply into the plot. I will say that it involves DEA agents who go on an ill-fated mission in Burma and the aftermath of that raid. The narrative also includes scenes in an upstate New York town and a sheep station in Australia. The scope of this novel is very ambitious as a result and author DeWayne Twitchell gets big points from me for having the imagination (and courage) to weave his characters into it. He also gets points for illustrating the myriad problems facing law enforcement agents who go after those criminals that have a global reach and enough money to keep themselves out of harm's way a good share of the time. When it comes to drug arrests, for example, very few kingpins ever get caught. Most of the people doing time in prisons around the world for drug-related offenses are small fry.

That said, I did not find his characters particularly sympathetic or believable.

For example, one of the characters is a sulky teenager from an upper-middle-class family. He steals money from his parents to buy drugs, skips school frequently, lies to his friends, and generally comes off as a spoiled boy with a deep sense of entitlement. He seems to have no redeeming characteristics at all.

Despite that, a veteran cop berates his parents during an investigation, apparently believing that it's their fault the kid is a thief, liar, truant, and drug abuser. I covered a lot of cops during my nearly 50 years as a journalist and I can honestly say I never saw that scenario play out. Without fail, the cops I wrote about kept their thoughts to themselves even if, for some unknowable reason, they did not look at the kid as a snot-nosed punk.
