The inimitable Quinny Hite is on the case-tough, cocky Quinny who invariably ends up in deeper waters of detection than he bargained for. Chinese Red: A wealthy playboy disappears from a dinner party at a Chinese restaurant, only to be found murdered. Quinny finds plenty of suspects, and one beautiful half-Chinese, half-Russian singer. Here Lies the Body: A cold-hearted patriarch is found murdered in the family cemetery. Family secrets complicate Quinny's investigation (not to mention a jarring ride on horseback).
