Publisher Description

The head of Macau’s largest gaming empire, Jocelyn Cheng, collapses and dies on the floor of one of the major casinos she oversees. Her murder comes as a shock, as she was one of the area’s most influential executives and generous philanthropists.

The shock turns to fear, however, when the local police find a chilling note inside the executive’s purse: a warning from The Organization (now going by ‘O’) that indicates they killed Cheng and are about to launch a grisly scheme that will upend the freedoms of everyone across Asia.

Once again, Dalton Lee and his team of architect/detectives are called in to work with the local authorities to determine who poisoned the casino executive and how she was embroiled with the terrorist cult.

Piquing Lee’s curiosity: the casino executive’s office suite has been reconfigured into an arrangement far from the principles of feng shui she adhered to. Also eerie: the conflicting testimonies of a server in the casino, the executive’s former assistant, her bitter younger sister and a mysterious blonde who sent the casino executive a perfect martini right before her fatal collapse.

A snake charmer, a peculiar street urchin, a frightening message in the sky and an abandoned village outside Hong Kong all add to the suspense surrounding ‘O’s campaign of terror. Unfortunately, it’s right when Lee determines who within Jocelyn Cheng’s inner circle was the murderer in hiding that the cult unleashes its terrifying scheme.

Murder Becomes Macau mixes clandestine meetings in a haunted mansion and otherworldly voices in the cities’ side streets to create a stunning work of mayhem and mystery set amid the spectacular architecture found in Macau and Hong Kong.

Page turner!

Dalton Lee’s latest adventures rank at the top of the Murder Becomes series. Some franchises grow a little flabby as the volumes stack up, but not this latest installment. Once again a mysterious murder lures the architect-detective and his team to a deftly drawn environment (this time, Macau); once again they encounter menace and more from the mysterious international organization that has harmed each of them personally. It’s a tightly written, tightly constructed tale, with intriguing, enigmatic details that encourage and reward turning page after page. This is the first book in years that I have read straight through in one sitting. Highly recommended!
