Summary: 4 Stars
Officer Dave Harris of the Seattle Police Department is assigned to one of the worst serial murder cases in Seattle's history. Dave is a 27 year old African American man who has been with the department for 3 years. He is gay and has hidden his sexual orientation from his fellow officers for fear of reprisals since he feels that being a gay black cop could be lethal to his continued good health.
FBI Agent Robbie Taylor has intuitive abilities and has been branded as a psychic and he has worked on a number of similar cases. When he first meets Dave the air sizzles and there is an instant attraction between them. Right away Robbie tells Dave he is aware of his sexual orientation and that he is attracted to him.
This is probably one of the most violent books I have read and the murders are particularly gruesome, so if you are squeamish be warned! Seattle's International District, or Chinatown, as portrayed by G.A. Hauser, is quite sordid. The murderer, who calls himself the Dragon, is hunting and killing young Asian men in Chinatown by eviscerating them. Solving the case requires all of Robbie's abilities. Dave and Robbie have to constantly be on guard against a serial killer who has left a trail of victims in two other states and is always several steps ahead of the police.
NAKED DRAGON is fast paced and the action is constant, hectic and frenetic with the tension building as the body count mounts. Ms Hauser's experience as a former patrol officer for the SPD is quite evident throughout the book especially in relation to police investigative procedures. Incredibly, these two men manage to carry on a hot, steamy romance in the midst of all the murder and mayhem and they fall in love.
I could not put this book down. It is definitely an intense emotional rollercoaster ride. Although the extreme violence might add to the plot, I thought some of it was exceedingly gratuitous and does not enhance this otherwise very well written story. I also felt the ending was telegraphed, similar to pitches in baseball. Finally, the story does strain credibility by inferring that the sexual relationship between the two men, when revealed, did not make waves with Dave's friends as well as in the law enforcement community which is acknowledged as being intolerant towards homosexuals on the Force. However, overall, the book was a good read!
Summary of Naked Dragon
Police Officer Dave Harris has just been assigned to one of the worst serial murder cases in Seattle history: The Dragon is hunting young Asian men. In order to solve the crime it's going to take a bit more than good old-fashioned police work. It's going to take handsome FBI Agent Robbie Taylor. Robbie is an experienced Federal Agent with psychic abilities that allow him to enter the minds of others. You can't hide your secrets and desires from someone that knows your every thought. Some think what Robbie has is a gift, others a skill, but when the mind you have to enter is that of a madman it can also be a curse. As the corpses pile up and the tension mounts, so does the sexual attraction between the two men. Then a moment of passion leads to a secret affair. Will their love be the distraction that costs them the case and possibly even their lives? Or will the bond forged between them be the key to their survival?Contemporary Books
