Beschreibung

Tokyo, 1990. Disgraced London Met detective Pete Bond has reinvented himself as an English teacher, but his embarrassing secret is nothing compared to the dark event in Suzi Sloane's earlier life.
 
A promiscuous Londoner, Suzi supplements her day job by topless dancing in a Shinjuku Kabukicho hostess bar. She's considering an offer from Shigeru, a customer at Club O. Meanwhile, Pete crosses paths with Dieter, a drug-dealing German, who appears to be involved in more than drugs and seemingly has a connection with Shigeru.
 
Before he can investigate Dieter, Pete becomes infatuated with Suzi in Roppongi, the infamous central Tokyo expat bar area. As a web of crime and exploitation in the Tokyo underworld begins to unravel, they are drawn into a deadly series of events.
 
The first book in the Tokyo Noir series, Nick John's NEON IDENTITY is a hard-hitting crime novel set against the backdrops of Tokyo's Kabukicho and Roppongi.

      Ron Green had made a mistake, but it wasn't one that millions of other guys hadn't made before him. And maybe he deserved some sort of punishment, like his wife leaving him or his kids hating his guts. But this? Being the main suspect in a single murder was bad enough, but at the same time knowing he was a potential victim of a serial killer was even worse. However, before Green could convince the cops of his innocence, he first had to convince them the serial killer existed, and now they weren't believing a thing he said.

    A "cyberpunk epic for the 21st century" - Goodreads 5 stars Review 
    Framed, disgraced and on the run, what would China's top cyber-warrior do for revenge? And what can the NSA's Dr. Mili Parekh do to track him? 
    Rise of the Water Margin immerses the reader in a near-future world grounded in American and Chinese cultural and political landscapes bickering over climate responsibility wherein technology challenges humanity to redefine its relationship with the Earth. Superpowers seek to leverage and subvert technology to further political ambitions while losing sight of human elements beyond their control - lust, corruption, greed, piety, revenge, freedom of expression and longing for acceptance. In the background is the tangled whorl of the Jianghu – the Rivers and Lakes of China’s wuxia demimonde– ever seeking to evade the surveillance state, ever seeking justice in an unjust world. 
    Chinese People’s Liberation Army Major Lin Chong is framed, disgraced, and on the run. Hunted for a trumped-up act of treason and manslaughter, the resourceful leader of China’s elite cyber-warfare unit takes refuge at a hacker enclave in one of China’s deserted “ghost cities.” Devastated by his wife’s suicide, he unleashes a cyber-weapon that threatens to draw China and the US into a nuclear war. 
    Dr. Mili Parekh, the brilliant head of the US National Security Agency’s Attribution Division, is tasked to identify the source of the attack. Parekh’s technical skills point to China’s culpability in the cyber-attack, and to Major Lin himself. Complicating matters for the wheelchair-bound Parekh are nagging doubts about another entity emerging in her analysis—and its possible links to Lin.

    On the surface, Elara Vance has the perfect life. A successful architect, a devoted husband, and a stunning glass-walled home overlooking the serene waters of Lake Serenity. But perfection is a fragile facade, and Elara feels it cracking. Her husband, Leo, has become distant, his late nights at the office filled with whispered phone calls and a coldness that chills her more than the lake’s deepest waters.
     
    
     
    Then comes the annual summer solstice party, a glittering spectacle for their elite community. Amidst the champagne and laughter, Elara sees a look pass between Leo and her best friend, Margot. A look that speaks of secrets shared in the dark. Hours later, as a storm lashes the lake, Margot vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only a single high-heeled shoe on the rain-slicked dock.
     
    
     
    As the police investigation focuses on a tragic accident, Elara begins her own quiet search. She discovers a second phone hidden in Leo’s study, filled with cryptic messages. She finds a locket she gave Margot years ago, tucked beneath the floorboards of their boathouse. Each clue pulls her deeper into a web of lies, suggesting Margot’s disappearance was not an accident, but a carefully planned silence.
     
    
     
    Now, Elara must question everything she thought she knew about her marriage, her friendship, and the peaceful town she calls home. Someone is watching her every move, someone who will do anything to keep the truth buried beneath the lake’s placid surface. To find her friend, Elara must unravel the perfect life she built, before she becomes the next secret the lake swallows whole.

    As much as master roaster Clare Cosi adores coffee, the landmark shop she manages won't survive if she doesn't sell enough of it. So when the Village Blend's customer traffic grinds to a halt, she turns to her staff for creative ideas, and the Writer's Block Lounge is born. 
     
     
     
    Madame, the eccentric octogenarian owner of the shop, is upset by this news. Years ago, a group of accomplished writers used the shop's second-floor lounge to inspire each other, but the group disbanded when something dark occurred. Though that history is shrouded in mystery, Clare presses forward . . .  
     
     
     
    Soon the Village Blend tables are filled with aspiring novelists, playwrights, and poets, all happy to be coaxed, cajoled, and caffeinated by her coffeehouse crew. Clare admires the stamina of these scribes, many of them toiling at night jobs—driving taxis, tending bar, ushering for Broadway—while penning projects during the day. 
     
     
     
    Then one of their fictions turns fatal when a shocking secret leads to a deadly end. Unless Clare can untangle this mystery, uncover the truth, and stop a desperate killer, she fears more of these weary writers may be marked for eternal rest.
