SEPIESSA PRESS announces publication of The Five Headed Dragon, a Thriller, the 6th novel from the keyboard of Michael G. West.
This book will make you wonder about the world.
Suspenseful and sexy, The Five Headed Dragon will transport you from an island off the coast of Massachusetts to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and New York.
Dr. Leef Leiden, an aging hit man who kills only sociopaths, wants out of the business. A free-spirited, young reporter named Sarah Benton, investigating unexplained disappearances of prominent people, becomes involved with the hit man unwittingly. S’bu Iredyetha, a mysterious African hermaphrodite educated at Oxford, a concert pianist or so he claims, threatens Sarah Benton’s life.
The story is set against an ancient Japanese myth, Benzaiten and The Five Headed Dragon. Dr. Leiden has spent years translating and lecturing about the story at leading universities and art museums. All the while he’s been crusading against sociopaths, making the world better, one sociopath at a time. Now that he’s met Sarah Benton, all he wants is to make the world safe for her. And him.
Stir it all up, and you have a spicy gazpacho of mayhem and mystery perfect for a summer afternoon in the shade of a beach umbrella.
