When a review like this gets posted on Amazon, I actually think it's OK that I became a writer.
"David Liscio is a gifted author who pays generous attention to even the smallest of details. A visual storyteller, Liscio seamlessly creates compelling characters then gives them unique voices while simultaneously breathing life into the landscapes surrounding them.
"This trait stands him well in the thrilling Pacific Poison, another gift to his fans. For his third effort, Liscio takes his heroes across the globe to the Far East, as the title belies, and styles an intricate mosaic of international crime and espionage set against lushly exotic and frequently historic locales.
"Liscio draws from personal experience as a reporter along the drug trail in the Orient as he reveals an always dangerous and sometimes blood-drenched Asian netherworld riddled with colorful characters, vicious villains and unlikely heroes, chock full of crackling dialogue and, as always, that dash of romance Liscio’s readers are accustomed to.
"Liscio, author of two of the books most recommended by me in the last decade, Deadly Fare and Blood Sons, once again gets two thumbs way up for this page-turner. I can’t wait to tell my friends about Pacific Poison."
---Amazon review by Steve Flynn.
PACIFIC POISON is the third book in the Hannah Summers series but can be read as a standalone. It's free to Kindle Unlimited members. It is preceded by the serial-killer thriller Deadly Fare (2016) and the mob saga Blood Sons (2018).
IN THE JAPANESE UNDERWORLD OF DRUGS, GUNS, AND CRIME… ONE WOMAN HOLDS THE KEY TO TAKING DOWN AN EMPIRE.
CIA officer Hannah Summers is dispatched to the South Pacific with one simple objective: discover the source of heroin being trafficked to the United States, and destroy it before another shipment hits the streets of San Francisco.
But on the coral island of Saipan, the yakuza — powerful, elaborately-tattooed Japanese gangsters — have no intention of allowing Hannah and her partners to interfere with business.
With bodies beginning to pile up on the tiny island and tensions mounting between yakuza and local law enforcement, it could be the perfect opportunity for a plucky, blonde undercover agent to infiltrate Orochi “Big Snake” Tanaka’s organization.
Or, it could prove a fatal mistake…
