A gripping crime thriller from acclaimed television writer and novelist Stephen J. Cannell, Riding the Snake plunges readers into the shadowy underworld of Chinese organized crime and the treacherous streets of Los Angeles and Hong Kong. The story follows Wheeler Cassidy, a dissolute Beverly Hills playboy, whose life is turned upside down when his brother is murdered, pulling him into a deadly web of Triad gang activity and illegal immigration rackets. Cannell masterfully chronicles the collision of privilege and danger as Wheeler partners with an LAPD detective to uncover the truth behind a vast criminal conspiracy stretching from the slums of Kowloon to the mansions of California. Propulsive, atmospheric, and relentlessly paced, the novel illustrates Cannell's signature ability to craft complex characters caught in high-stakes situations with cinematic intensity.
