Screams & Whispers

Randall Peffer

Tyrus Books,  July 2011

Young Cape Cod public defender and commercial fisherman Michael Decastro ventures to Saigon with his father, a Vietnam War vet, to come to the aid of his long-lost client and love-interest Tuki Aparecio.

The half-Vietnamese, half-African American diva is in a fight of her life with a mysterious dragon lady from Indochina’s underworld. At stake is an antique ruby in Tuki’s possession -- and the mortal souls of everyone Decastro loves.


Ghosts that the Decastros and Tuki carry with them from Cape Cod and Southeast Asia will have their day.
