Chasing the Dragon
A local fisherman finds the body of a missing American archaeologist Richard Fulbright. Detective Inspector Betancourt is first on the scene. Something doesn’t quite add up. This was no accident. Fulbright was on the cusp of a discovery, but was also was having an affair, and he is sure he is onto something bigger than just academic infighting.
