Little Saigon

Little Saigon

Chuck Frye is a down-and-out California surfer, happy riding the waves in Newport Beach, until his big brother's Vietnamese bride is kidnapped on stage during one of her popular cabaret performances in Little Saigon. Chuck knows much more about riding waves than he does about his war-hero brother's past, and soon finds himself in a deadly world of refugee passions and politics, at the center of which is his brother's mysterious, lovely wife. <br /> <br /> <br />"Little Saigon is a great mystery thriller but to say so may be doing it an injustice. It may also be the first major novel to explore that strange new neighborhood set somewhere between the American mainstream and the Mekong Delta." <br />----- Donald Stanwood <br /> <br />"Parker is a glowing fixture in the thriller firmament." <br />----- Kirkus Reviews <br /> <br />"Slick and elegant...It's a swell book to read." <br />----- Los Angeles Times <br /> <br />"A very polished and deeply felt performance." <br /> -- Donald Stanwood <br /> <br /> <br />About the Author: T. Jefferson Parker is the author of nineteen crime novels, and a three-time winner of the Edgar Award. He lives in Southern California.
