Amid the flash and din of Boston's raucous Chinese New Year's celebration, an elderly man is shot while watching the parade from his window. Anthony Bradley, the son of an African-American judge, is standing across the street at the time and is immediately arrested for the crime. Michael Knight, a young lawyer who's going places, is surprised when Judge Bradley asks him to defend his son in such a high profile and politically delicate case. Luckily, Knight finds powerful support from Lex Devlin, a senior partner at his firm. Once the foremost criminal defense attorney in Boston, Devlin has mysteriously withdrawn from defense work in recent years.
As Knight and Devlin investigate and prepare their client's defense, Knight is forced to confront the murky allegations that eclipsed his mentor's career, and enter into the shadow world of gangland Chinatown. From the halls of Harvard to the streets of Chinatown, Knight doggedly pursues an investigation that involves drugs, prostitution, human trafficking, and a corruption scandal that could bring down the most powerful people in Boston.

""Neon Dragon" is very well written and has some very likable characters. I am looking forward to reading other books by John Dobbyn." — Olga (4 out of 5 stars)
""Neon Dragon" is very well written and has some very likable characters. I am looking forward to reading other books by John Dobbyn."
" Way too improbable. Young attorney on his first murder case brings down the Chinese Tong and the entire corrupt state judicial system with a few well played hunches. In my estimation, A juvenile fantasy for bored males. "
" Interesting book. Nice characters. The plot is simplistic at times. (Some of the stunts the main character pulls would never work in real life...) "
" Another new author (to me). Really a good action book that was hard to put down. "
" If you like court room thrillers this is a great book "
" More detailed background information that I'd like is included in the book, but it held my attention and was a quick read "
" I really enjoyed this book--exactly what I was looking for! "
" Written by one of Jack's law professor's. Interesting insight to the culture of Chinatown. "
