Review Quotes:
"With nods to both Dashiell Hammett and Agatha Christie, Mallory's newest mystery is a perfect story to curl up with on a winter's night. Twists and turns abound as we follow Detective Henry Lau and his niece, Detective Janet Lau, as they sift through the motives and means of a potential historic art theft, one that may have led to murder.
"Mallory's strong writing and atmospheric Minnesota setting grabbed me from the first page!" - Ellen Hart, Mystery Writers of America Grandmaster
"Michael Allan Mallory's talent as a storyteller shines through in Lost Dragon. The first paragraph captured me and I relished the story to the end. His characters seem like real people...
"I loved walking alongside protagonists Henry Lau and Janet Lau as they worked through a complex investigation to uncover a killer's identity. Mallory's impressive knowledge of martial arts is keenly woven into the plot and adds a key element in this compelling story. I hope Lost Dragon is the first book in a series because I'm ready for the next. Two thumbs up!" - Christine Husom, author, the Winnebago County Mysteries and the Snow Globe Shop Mysteries.
"Delightful! A fun whodunit with characters I want to hang out with." - Anne Frasier, New York Times Bestselling Author
