The Detective Inspector Chen Novels Volume One
ByPublisher Description
Det. Inspector Wei Chen of Singapore Three's Thirteenth Precinct is "a detective whose beat reaches to the fringes of Heaven and Hell" (
). Along with his demon partner from Hell's vice squad, Zhu Irzh, Chen is the man to turn to for paranormal problems that are literally out of this world.
: This "entertaining supernatural mystery" introduces an occult detective who is as serious as his beat is strange (
). With a demon for his beloved wife, Det. Inspector Wei Chen possesses a comfort with the supernatural that most mortals cannot match. But his journey to Hell to find the waylaid ghost of Pearl Tang, the deceased daughter of a wealthy industrialist, will take him further into the abyss than ever before—to a mystifying place where he will need the help of a demonic detective to survive. Getting into Hell is easy. Getting out is another story.

Soon he's unearthed a supernatural conspiracy that proves Hell holds no monopoly on evil. Chen just may have to cut his vacation short.
"Uniquely imaginative . . . [a] surreal fusion of Chinese mythology, paranormal high jinks, and satisfyingly suspenseful sleuthing." —
