"A ROLLER-COASTER RIDE OF SEX AND VIOLENCE THAT CAREENS ALONG AT TREMENDOUS SPEED."
--St. Petersburg Times
It's a setup pure, and simple. Somebody did a professional job of making it look like a reckless young man raped and killed a beautiful blond disc jockey in the office of his racing stables. And only one man can find out why . . . .
"[A] FAST-MOVING THRILLER."
--The Indianapolis Star
Ex-homicide detective Roland Troy wants to see justice done--and he comes out of retirement on the lush Florida land he inherited from his grandfather to do it. But it is a different heritage that Troy will employ to ferret out the conspiracy. It is his long-ago initiation into the secret martial arts society, the Prancing Tigers, that will propel Troy down a deadly path toward the truth. . . .
"ENGROSSING."
--The Orlando Sentinel
That path will twist its way back through Troy's own past. Forced to relive the senseless tragedies and searing betrayals that changed his life forever, thrown back on the wisdom of both his Native American friends and his CIA contacts, Troy must once again confront the powerfully dangerous man by whose grace he lives, and who may decide this time it is convenient for Troy to die . . . .
"A TOUGH, SEXY, EXCITING, ROUSING FIRST NOVEL JUST BEGGING FOR AN ENCORE."
--Buffalo News

About the Author:
Philip Singerman is the author of An American Hero: The Red Adair Story and the novel Prancing Tiger. He has worked as a journalist, TV producer, advertising copywriter, housebuilder, and bartender, and holds a black belt in Shorin Ryu Okinawan karate. A native of Vermont, he now lives in Florida.
From Publishers Weekly:
The title of Singerman's exciting first novel refers to the ancient Asian brotherhood to which its crime-busting hero, Roland Troy, belongs-and that's not the book's only strong echo of Eric Van Lustbader and Richard LaPlante. Also familiar is the linking of violence and sex-the first sex scene has a woman performing mock fellatio on a gun-and, thankfully, a slew of strong characters, beginning with likable martial-arts expert (and former CIA agent and homicide cop) Troy, who, in his early 50s, is intriguingly old for an action hero. The villain, Asian crime lord Chotoku Nakama, is also notable, despite some Fu Manchu-like attributes, as are figures ranging from the Florida senator and the presidential hopeful in Nakama's pocket to imprisoned dope dealers and an emotionally disturbed lesbian newspaper editor. The plot, which hinges on a series of intricate flashbacks, grips as it unspools to answer the question: Who killed hotshot radio host Nikki Waters? In order to exonerate the son of a long-lost love, Troy must find out. Coincidence plays too large a role in the case, but clever misdirection keeps the murderer's identity secret until the final pages of this multilayered, satisfying tale
