A container ship smuggling Chinese refugees runs aground on Alcatraz, its crew murdered with deadly precision. While the police and FBI search for clues, private investigator Cape Weathers suspects his partner Sally might be involved. But she's gone missing, and when Cape starts asking questions about her past, someone puts a dead body in his trunk and a price on his head. From the back alleys of San Francisco to the secret societies of Hong Kong’s criminal underworld, Cape soon discovers that sometimes the only justice is revenge.

Critical Praise
"Tough, original, compelling - a perfect thriller debut."
--- Lee Child, NY Times bestselling author of ONE SHOT and THE HARD WAY
"Dashiell Hammett's San Francisco gets diced, spiced, and served up like a kung fu fever dream in Tim Maleeny's riotous debut novel."
--- Mark Haskell Smith, author of DELICIOUS and MOIST
"STEALING THE DRAGON is a raucous, sizzling, no-holds-barred delight from the get-go. Tim Maleeny propels readers down the darkest alleyways of Hong Kong, Tokyo, San Francisco, and the human condition with scathing wit and style. Keep an eye on your socks--this is a debut sure to knock them right the hell off with an auspicious bang."
--- Cornelia Read, author of A FIELD OF DARKNESS
"Take one smart, funny detective. Add one beautiful, deadly Chinese assassin. Mix in an ancient secret ingredient that people will kill for, then stir violently. I gobbled up the chapters, and an hour later I was hungry for more. Tim Maleeny delivers."
--- Marshall Karp, author of THE RABBIT FACTOR and BLOODTHIRSTY
"STEALING THE DRAGON is Dashiell Hammett by way of Jerry Bruckheimer – with some Jackie Chan thrown in for good measure. If you like your private-eye adventures fast, funny and action-packed, you’re going to love this book!"
--- Steve Hockensmith, Derringer award-winning author of HOLMES ON THE RANGE
"Crisp. Sharp. Great characters. A page turner with appeal to both men and women readers. Tim Maleeny's first is just the beginning for this talented new writer."
