To learn the answer, he must begin his own desperate search for the truth. And he must find it before the police arrest him for murder.
     With the help of his fianceé, Cassie Wong, Belmontes turns up several leads that suggest someone is trying to frame him.

A Chinese crime boss, gunned down in a Chinatown alley-and Belmontes pulled the trigger

 All I can really say is that it was a wonderfully imaginative mystery, which rapidly unfolds into a fast-pace action filled story.  It's a commendable debut sequel to Lair of the Dragon and I'm surprised this author did not receive more recognition as a new mystery writer, upon publication of his first book.  Although Dragon's Ghost does read well without having read the first book, I recommend reading Lair of the Dragon first, which captures the personalities of the characters.  And by the time one begins the sequel, he knows the players quite well.  A good read that you won't want to put down until the very end

 I only lost about 6 hrs of sleep over a two day period reading it. Seriously ... another good read. I enjoyed your work.

 AN ABSOLUTE PAGE TURNER ... Once again,
Frederick Price has written a galvanizing book. I started reading, and couldn’t stop. This book is a roller coaster that never slows down. Action, suspense, mystery ... it’s all there in Dragon’s Ghost. Price is a consummate story teller and his characters are believable and captivating. I haven’t enjoyed a book this much in a very long time.

 "Dragon’s Ghost" keeps one moving and interested. I had to put it down for several days with things I had to get done, but would sneak a chance to read a few pages as often as I could. I did enjoy it!

 MYSTERY SPEED READING ... Price is back with a fast-moving, exciting story with his continuing character Chad Belmontes and Chad's feisty fiancée Cassie Wong.  I really admire her courage in dealing with the gangsters.  There is no putting this book down.  I live on a Pacific Island, and I took the book with me to a fiesta, on a fishing boat, and had my wife drive us to a wedding, so I could finish the last three chapters on the road.  If you want a close-up look at American-Chinese crime, and some romance and mystery, and some shooting and dead bodies, this is the book for you.  Now that Chad has retired from the police, and getting married, what's his next move?
