Professional Reviews
From an Amazon Reader for The Fog
“Five Stars! Warren once again capitalizes on the characters we have grown to know since Hong Kong Blues, and even passages from previous books in the series, and while keeping us up to date he also slips in the quintessential San Francisco atmosphere, attitude and manner - both social and anti-social! Another excellent read about the very special Inspector (`Law’) Kwong and his sidekick Matson.”

For The Gift
“That’s it! Nice read! I’ve come to love Matson’s idiosyncrasies, Kwong’s patience, focus and wisdom, and Warren’s savvy. I particularly enjoyed the way he involved Jessica as a major (but somewhat natural) cog in the mystery’s resolve. I also most appreciated the timeliness of The Gift.”
