Desert Jade: A Letty Valdez Mysteryby C.J. ShaneTucson private investigator and Iraq War veteran Letty Valdez joins forces with an unlikely ally, Chinese police Detective Inspector Zhou Liang Wei, in Desert Jade, a fast-paced mystery-suspense thriller set in the Sonoran Desert. We meet a migrant lost and out of water in the desert, Chinese triad gangsters engaged in criminal activities on the U.S.-Mexico border, a woman murdered in her backyard, a husband who vanished with a large sum of money, and three abducted young women threatened with sex trafficking. There’s a touch of romance, too, when cop Zhou first meets one of Letty’s friends. Don’t forget Milagro (aka Millie), the runt-sized female pit bull who performs a heroic act and saves a life.
