Download Caught Dead: A Rick Van Lam Mystery AudioBook Free
When one of the beautiful Le sisters is wiped out, Hartford, Connecticut's small Vietnamese community is stunned. Mary Le Vu, wife of an unhealthy grocery store owner, is gunned down in a drive-by shooting. Her twin sister insists that dutiful Mary wouldn't be captured dead in that drug-infested zone, but the police guideline it an unlucky mishap. Skeptics employ the service of private attention Rick Vehicle Lam to get to the reality. Amerasian Rick is one of the bui doi--children of the dust particles --who are so often rejected by Vietnamese culture. But his young sidekick Hank Nguyen, a pureblood Vietnamese man, can help Rick navigate the shut down world of Little Saigon. Encircled by close friends--a former-Rockette landlady, his crusty mentor, and his ex-wife, Liz--Rick immerses himself in a global that rejects him but now needs his help, especially when another murder hits Little Saigon. Rick and Hank explore the groups of the Le sisters, one poor, one very abundant, and uncover a world of explosive ethnic pressure and sinister legal activity ranging from Hartford's exclusive white suburbs to the impoverished inner city. To resolve the murders and bring closure to Mary's grieving circle, Rick looks to long-buried stories of his Buddhist child years for the intelligence that will lead him to a murderer.
