Crook Chase

Small-time New York private detective Harry Donovan has personal and financial problems and when rumour suggests there's a bounty on the head of a big-time wanted fraudster linked to the jewellery business, Harry decides to track him down. Cyprus is where he thinks the action is but Harry has never been out of America before, needs help and things get complicated. Others get involved and it turns out it's not just fake jewellery but fraud on international construction projects involving banks, lawyers and a much wider criminal network than Harry ever realised. Harry, out of his depth, depressed and facing bankruptcy over his financial problems, starts to lose the plot. His only solace in life is Beryl who runs his Harlem office but with two other private detectives already killed at the hands of the criminal gang can Harry survive long enough to claim a $250,000 bounty?
Crook Chase is the fifth in the Asher & Asher series of international crime investigations. This time it's Asher & Asher's tight-fisted Colin Asher, field-man, Mark Dobson and new recruit Ritchie Dolan who are involved, bringing with them Sam Smith, a professional hacker with Irish mobsters on his back, Boris Brown, a retired London police officer with breaking and entering skills and a Greek teenager, Curly Kostas selling flake jewellery on the streets of Athens.

Terry Morgan has been writing stories and poetry for over twenty five years, mostly while he "lived out of a suitcase", travelling with his own exporting business. With over seventy countries under his belt (some of them so many times he lost count) he now lives with his Thai wife, Yung, in Petchabun, Thailand with occasional visits back to friends and family in the Forest of Dean and the Cotswold valleys around Stroud, Gloucestershire, UK.
He writes novels with a strong international, business and political flavour, commentary on biology and environmental matters and, when he finds time, less serious humour and political satire.
