The excerpts

The three excerpts below are chosen to give new readers a feel for Turquoise Dragon's style and pacing.

Prologue

South Vietnam, 1968: U.S. Army Sergeant William Moreau interrogates the sole survivor of a North Vietnamese ambush – a gravely wounded young man who calls himself "Tan." Their conversation, though brief, will alter the course of both their lives.

Chapters 17 & 18 

Within the walls of Pere Lachaise cemetery, the voices of the dead call to Li Jiang from across the decades. Meanwhile, Shaun O'Connor and Delphine Moreau follow the cemetery's twisting avenues toward a confrontation with two of Major Torrance's men.

Chapter 33

Night falls on Paris, and in the silence of the ancient cemetery of Montmartre, Li Jiang approaches a tomb of white marble where Major Torrance stands waiting, the blood of two innocents on his hands.
