1989. The undercover Los Angeles police team of Sam Williams and Jenny Luck witness a "righteous kill" by a fellow officer in Chinatown - a kill with problems they need to hide to protect the innocent. Then, overseas, the massacre in China at Tien An Men Square hits home in the U.S.A. when a dissident refugee lands in L. A. and stirs up trouble on Sam and Jenny's patch. Still, he's on the right side of things and the two undercover cops need to protect him. The problem is, he's stirred up enough trouble to bring in a former Italian Red Brigade terrorist turned loose by the Soviets and now freelancing for the CIA, hired to bring the dissident back to China to avoid an international incident. Add to that a Hong Kong martial arts thug visiting Chinatown for a little extortion racket, plus a drug-sniffing police dog with an addiction, and L. A.'s warm-weather winter offers Sam Williams, Jenny Luck and everyone in Chinatown a very special, comic, violent and tragic Happy New Year.

Jim Marlowe and his young son came to Central Europe on a routine scientific assignment: to study the environmental impact of a planned mining operation. But nothing in the mountains of Karistan is quite what it seems - from the village witch with her mysterious past to the intrigues of Jim's employer. And hidden in ageless caverns and towering hills is a myth come to life, an awesome inspiring legend that will change the lives of all who enter it's domain.

Syracuse, upstate New York. The "Salt City." An apartment building on the edge of The Projects - and Anne Malloy dies, flying out of a sixth floor window, an apparent suicide, while Mark Cornell watches. Mark was there for a purpose, his part-time gig being to snap incriminating photos for a divorce lawyer who happily takes cases over the phone. Watching the apartment was Mark's assignment. But this assignment has a problem: Mark learns that "Anne Malloy" had died months before, leaving behind a grieving husband. So who is this woman? It's 1976, before cell phones, internet, and all the easy ways of satisfying curiosities, so Mark Cornell's search for a name to give the victim makes him a foot soldier slogging personally through the facts. And, as those facts pile up, Mark discovers that he really shouldn't be playing detective, stumbling across the thin line between commerce and crime . . . in the Salt City.

When 18-year-old Sam Williams was drafted in 1972, he expected to end up in Vietnam, not West Germany, where he stumbles into the Europe of the political terrorist, tradition, and revenge for WWII concentration camps. A violent tale, a moral odyssey. And Motown music.
