Aging gray market dealer Asa Cire may not know exactly who he is or why he’s here, but he does know one thing: He’s going to find the murderer of the teenage girl haunting his visions, regardless of the cost.

Aided by Buddhist adept Tanya Ito and street-smart Neveah Arias, Asa tries to unravel the mystery surrounding the decades-old murder. His only leads are a small town drug dealer and a stolen manuscript that nobody can decipher.

Stalked by a Chinese mob that wants its manuscript back and the killer who wants to put Asa at the bottom of the river, Asa dodges disaster until he faces the brutal truth: To bring justice to the girl, he will have to die. Twice.

Dark River is a fast-paced blend of mystery, suspense, and a little fantasy thrown in for good measure. It tells the story of Asa Cire and his two friends, Tanya Ito and Neveah Arias, as he tries to find the killer from a murder that happened decades before -- all while a once-in-a-century hurricane is moving in and a lot of people are out to cap Asa as well.

What I liked best about this book is that the author blends a lot of philosophy into the story without the ideas getting in the way of the action. The writing is pretty crisp, and the author doesn't spend a lot of time on exposition.
