8. "Proportionate Response" by Dave Buschi

Second book of his I've read on kindle, this one has all new characters. Overall it was pretty good, but the beginning was great; I started the book and by the time I stopped for air after the first scene, I was 11% into it! Reminded me of a Marcus Wynne scene, breaking everything down and making you notice each thing that led to the confrontation.

Part of it took place in Shanghei, but there was only superficial incorporation of the city; talking about some of the new glittering skyscrapers vs. the old and mostly empty communist-era gray cement buildings, or the ever-present smog that makes it look as if the sun never really comes out.

Overall, it has me ready to buy a third book when it comes out.
