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.

an effective backdrop for this unusual love story infused with the
blues."

appeal to those willing to cross over to the dark side."

Woolrich."
