An NJA Club Novel

By: Stephen Shaiken

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Someone is selling fake luxury handbags so perfect that even the real manufacturers can’t always tell they are knockoffs. When a bumbling private eye from America visits the NJA Club on behalf of undisclosed clients, US expat lawyer Glenn Murray Cohen and his friends are drawn into the intrigue. Glenn’s friend, the General, a retired Thai military man, was hired by the real manufacturers to find the fakers, and he understands the American visitor can lead him to his prey. He relies on the information Glenn obtained from Glenn’s interrogation of the visitor. When the private eye goes missing while under surveillance, Glenn feels responsible for turning the man over the General’s people. The NJA Club Gang must find out both who is pushing the fake bags and why, while Glenn and his hippie-warrior friend Sleepy Joe search for the missing detective. International intrigue pours from every page of this exotic noir thriller. Another classic from a master of the genre.
