The Vietnam War is not over for everyone.
A vicious assassin is methodically murdering former members of an army squad who served in Vietnam - on the first day of Tet each year - and Chauncey McFadden, Los Angeles PI, is asked to stop this brutal vendetta before it claims the lives of the remaining squad members. His journey through the seamy underbelly of La La Land is a bumpy one as he battles a transplanted Asian culture that resists comprehension and penetration, vicious drug cartels, ruthless gangs, and a professional killer who is as elusive as a shadow. Despite Chauncey's best efforts, the body count soars as victims are dispatched in ritualistic ways by a killer as enigmatic as he is lethal. Like his previous two riveting and fast-paced mysteries in the series, Vietnam Vindication represents the best that mysteries have to offer as his description of places and atmosphere, arcane and twisting plots, outrageous characters, sparking dialog, and stellar prose - all enlightened by a quirky sense of humor - capture the hearts and minds of critics and readers alike. With the pubication of Vietnam Vindication, a creative tour-de-force, award-winning author Dan Anderson again shows why he is one of the most fascinating and entertaining voices in the mystery field today.

A serial killer is on the loose!
But you may die laughing before the next victim is found.
With the publication of Bad Vibrations, a humorous mystery, award-winning author, Dan Anderson, takes us on an unforgettable romp through the noir underbelly of Southern California in the pursuit of a serial killer who murders his female victims in a most unusual manner.
Chauncey McFadden, a portly, wisecracking private detective with limited homicide experience is hardly prepared for the danger and intrigue into which he is drawn when he is lured from his world of mundane investigations to find the perpetrator of a series of grisly murders. Realizing that he may be in over his head, Chauncey watches the body count climb as he pursues one lead after another with discouraging results.
The pursuit of the killer leads through a cast of zany characters that includes a quirky police lieutenant who puts Chauncey down at every opportunity, a crime syndicate boss who forces Chauncey to work for him, a secret government intelligence agency that operates outside of normal boundaries, and an international consortium of Palestinian and yakuza terrorists. Will the beleaguered Chauncey survive an attack on his own life and bring the killer to justice, or will he become another fatality at the hands of the ruthless serial killer?
