I had been aware of opioid issues in SE Asia from my travels there and was also aware of drug trafficking patterns in Europe. So I combined my recent visits to Spain, Italy, Thailand and Cambodia to explore the issue further ad develop the novel, Chasing the Tiger. The title refers to a popular method of inhaling heroin vapors in Thailand. (less)

Finally, my thriller about Mongolia

After several years living in the world's coldest capital, and the world's coolest country...a book is born! Enjoy Murder in Mongolia, where an FBI investigation leads to environmental mayhem in Mongolia. Unfortunately, the risks posed in this book are all too real, and much depends on how we treat our environment, a victim of our technical revolution and our combatting climate change.

Fritz’s Quotes

Charles Dickens
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
