The Five Headed Dragon

The Five Headed Dragon is the story of an assassin and a news reporter whose lives intertwine. Suspenseful and sexy, The Five Headed Dragon ranges from an island off the coast of Massachusetts to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and New York.

Sarah Benton, maverick crime writer for L.A. Tempo, investigates a series of possible murders of prominent people whose bodies have never been found.

Leef Leiden, scholar and translator of Asian mythology, is also a professional killer who accepts assignments, but only with proof the intended target is a sociopath.

Sarah and Leef cross paths, and they become involved. Here be dragons, but only imaginary ones. And a 6th century Japanese goddess. Although she is investigating the deaths he has caused, Sarah knows nothing about Leef’s hidden profession. Leef has no idea what she is investigating, and he is a captive of her passion and intensity.

On the verge of discovering the truth, Sarah herself becomes the target of a rival hit man hired by an LA gang leader she has exposed. Leef learns from his broker about the hit and who has accepted the job, an Oxford-educated African hermaphrodite, S’bu Iredietha, also known as “The Radiator.” Leef cannot allow that to happen. He vows to keep Sarah safe.

As the story unfolds, the consequence of their affair leads them to the brink of discovery and personal danger. The Five Headed Dragon is a classic thriller laced with sexy scenes and droll, dark humor. The pages turn by themselves.

As the reviewer in the MV Times put it, “a feast for the senses, with a turbo-propelled plot. If you’ve never read a Michael West thriller, do so now, starting with The Five-Headed Dragon…”
