Murder Becomes Macau: Dalton Lee Mystery

Autor Jeffrey Eaton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 sep 2023
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 most 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') indicating they killed Cheng and are set 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 eerie cult. Piquing Lee's curiosity: the casino executive's office suite has a new configuration that's far from the principles of feng shui she adhered to. Also odd: 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 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 the murderer was within Jocelyn Cheng's inner circle 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 both Macau and Hong Kong.
