The head of Macau's largest gaming empire, Jocelyn Cheng, collapses and dies on the floor of one of the major casinos she oversees. Her murder comes as a shock, as she was one of the area's most influential executives and most generous philanthropists.The shock turns to fear, however, when the local police find a chilling note inside the executive's purse: a warning from The Organization (now going by 'O') indicating they killed Cheng and are set to launch a grisly scheme that will upend the freedoms of everyone across Asia. Once again, Dalton Lee and his team of architect/detectives are called in to work with the local authorities to determine who poisoned the casino executive and how she was embroiled with the eerie cult.Piquing Lee's curiosity: the casino executive's office suite has a new configuration that's far from the principles of feng shui she adhered to. Also odd: the conflicting testimonies of a server in the casino, the executive's former assistant, her bitter younger sister and a mysterious blonde who sent the casino executive a martini right before her fatal collapse.A snake charmer, a peculiar street urchin, a frightening message in the sky and an abandoned village outside Hong Kong all add to the suspense surrounding 'O's campaign of terror. Unfortunately, it's right when Lee determines who the murderer was within Jocelyn Cheng's inner circle that the cult unleashes its terrifying scheme.Murder Becomes Macau mixes clandestine meetings in a haunted mansion and otherworldly voices in the cities' side streets to create a stunning work of mayhem and mystery set amid the spectacular architecture found in both Macau and Hong Kong.

The winningest coach in college football is stabbed to death in his estate in Coral Gables. People assume someone on the coach's long list of enemies is responsible for the murder. But a telltale calling card left on his corpse reveals a far more sinister truth: he was slain by an intimate who was secretly connected to a cult planning a horrific event in South Florida. What form of terror is The Organization concocting? And just how did the coach interfere with the group's plans? Once again, authorities ask Dalton Lee and his team to help them solve those riddles before The Organization can launch its wave of treachery. From the colorful Art Deco hotels of South Beach, to the vibrant street life of Little Havana, to the mysterious gardens of the Vizcaya Museum, "Murder Becomes Miami" is a chilling, haunted-house ride. Jeffrey Eaton keeps readers guessing to the very end which person among the viper's nest of suspects is the murderer in hiding.

A socialite is found strangled to death in an unused storage closet within one of Manhattan's iconic hotels. The young woman's murder puts the authorities on edge, but their concern transforms into alarm when they spot a calling card on her corpse. The ominous note confirms a sinister cult subdued many years ago has regrouped to try once again to crush the free world from within. Enter Dalton Lee, one of the world's pre-eminent architects. As a student at Cambridge some twenty years ago, Lee helped bring the anarchists to their knees when he deduced who among their ranks had assassinated a congresswoman. Now that the group is resuming its campaign of terror, the authorities recruit Lee and his business associates to assist them with the investigation, knowing they all now have a personal stake in finding the killer. Can Lee and his colleagues figure out why the fringe group chose to have the socialite murdered-and who the murderer was-before New York is under siege and one of their own gets locked within the killer's crosshairs?
