Squad 7 is an elite anti-terrorism team comprising FBI agents and Chicago cops. Mike Buck, a veteran FBI Special Agent is the driving force of the Squad 7 team. He's calm and efficient, but his past weighs heavily on him-wartime guilt, a failed marriage, and his partner's recent on-duty death. As the new millennium begins, Buck's investigation of the death of an old Vietnamese immigrant, a simple, seemingly innocent man, unravels a twenty-five-year-old mystery with international political implications. The local Vietnamese community is closed to outsiders, but an opening is created when a Vietnamese American detective and former "boat person", Do Tron, from the Chicago Police Department, is added to the Squad. Together they battle local gangs, corrupt politicians, and even other elements of the FBI. Buck creates more tension by becoming romantically involved with the daughter of one of the Vietnamese leaders in Chicago. As Buck delves deeper into the case, he realizes he's up against something greater than he anticipated. He navigates a complex web of corruption, political intrigue, and violence across continents. Along the way, he uncovers the truth about his past and his role in the Vietnam War. The clock is ticking, and the stakes are high as Buck and Tron race to stop a dangerous plot threatening global security. But as the investigation intensifies, Buck's personal and professional lives collide, putting everything he's worked for at risk. Set against the backdrop of the waning days of the pre-911 world, "Dead Wong" is a gripping thriller that explores the intersection of crime, politics, and personal demons. Inspired by true events, filled with vivid characters, a fast-paced plot, and a stunning twist, this novel is a must-read for fans of suspense and action.

THIRD EDITION: Forward by Sarah A. Smith, Jazz was burned into Romania's psyche around 1918, after a great war unified its kingdoms amid totemic change. But through negotiation of multi-veiled alliances, a nation of Romantics gave birth to a jazz subclass directly linked with its classical music. From its juxtaposition with an American hybrid, Romanian jazz revealed a cosmopolitanism different, but equal to what had been found in its literature, architecture and visual arts, eventually aligning with a school of avant-garde fused with patronage. More than a standard accounting, this short tome examines how and why jazz histories are written, influences of race, ethnicity, globalization and revision, and why reporting jazz is so difficult.
