    About this ebook

    Touch has left the US Army to become a San Francisco photojournalist. He resides in Sausalito with a parrot named Hypo and hot and cold-running women. At a Chinese wedding, Touch finds the bride's sister at the bottom of the Narrows Cliff, and that night he is savagely beaten. He ends up using a cane. His first clue, a gold bracelet charm, disappeared; his second, 6 weeks later, is a tape recording. His third is a Chinese jewelry box that has no opening. Together they lead Touch and Nick to a Chinese organization that deals in corporate espionage. The more Touch investigates, the more people die. With lots of evidence and no proof, Nick and Touch target Chinatown's richest and most powerful leader. Then Touch's new lady is taken. When the warehouse that served as the viper's nest goes up in flames, Touch watches her die at hand of the tong leader. Neither man is finished; their final confrontation takes place in Touch's photo studio.

    David M. Delo

    Bio of author David M. Delo I’ve never been great at anything, but I have been around and have had as many failures as I have successes. After college, I was a C.I. agent for NATO (US Army) in Europe. Back in the USA, I became an educational administrator for the American Geological Institute, in Washington, D.C.; a systems analyst and V. P. at Levi Strauss & Co. in San Francisco; owner of a guest ranch in Wyoming; a P. R. writer for a university library in Illinois and grants writer for a not-for-profit organization in Montana; owner of a publishing company (Kingfisher Creations) through which I authored 10 books; and a semi-professional photographer for half a century. I have also been an artist since 1993 and I have been bipolar II since the mid-1960s. I guess you could say I have had a colorful life. Since the turn of the century, I have resided within the world of creativity. My books (and paintings) are my children and my heritage. My action-mysteries are based on my years in Europe. My historical novels are all based on places to which I have ventured, and I still love my protagonists with whom I identify–a geologist, an artist, a photographer, and an intrepid explorer of the west.

      I first saw Karolina outside the Sumesa on the corner of Avenidas Oaxaca and Álvaro Obregón. She was smoking a stubby cigarette, a sled-like backpack hitched to her shoulders. I stopped short, felt my heart lurch. Could it be? Karolina was my brother
