Book description
This intriguing, suspense-packed novel is the fourth Jack Taggart
Mystery in the series commencing with Loose Ends, Above
Ground, and Angel in the Full Moon. This time the
implacable Mountie Jack Taggart goes undercover to follow the trail of
a cheap Saturday-night special found at the scene of a murder.
He traces the gun from the manufacturer to the person it was stolen
from and through several criminals until the trail leads him to a
suspected heroin importer. Taggart pretends to be an Irish gangster
and penetrates the criminal organization, only to discover that the
real crime boss is a mysterious figure out of Asia.
Taggart and his partner are unexpectedly taken aboard a private jet
where they find themselves alone and without backup in the lair of one
of the largest yakuza organized crime families in Japan. East meets
west. The clash of culture explodes into violence when their real
identities are discovered.
"Easton will quickly suck you into the story with his crisp,
clean prose, fast-moving plots, and a gift for dialogue that breathes
life into his characters." Don Easton spent his career in the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police as an undercover operative who worked in
foreign countries. He lives in Victoria, British Columbia.
