This book is dedicated to my son Sam and his schoolmate Luli. Sam mentioned Luli on a call home and I said, “I like her name. I might steal it for a heroine.” He said, “It’s actually Lucrecia.” I said, “Even better.” I later had the good fortune to meet Luli, and she’s lovely. Along with her name, I lifted Luli’s vocation of computer programming, and the fact that her heritage is Venezuelan. The real Luli, however, has much nicer parents.

BORN IN THE Year of the Dragon, Gabriel Dean was dominant, ambitious, passionate and willing to take risks. He jumped for no one.
His signature detachment, however, was not impervious to his grandmother’s ringtone.
The distinctive tinkle of a brass tea bell might have struck some as a sign of affection. And yes, he had seen her shake such a bell on two of the threeoccasions he had spoken to her in person, but sentiment was not a gene either of them possessed.
No, the bell was a practical choice, being odd enough to draw his attention no matter what was going on around him. Mae Chen’s missives were financial in nature, time sensitive and always lucrative. He didn’t need more money, but he hadn’t joined the eleven zeroes club at thirty by ignoring opportunities to make more.
Therefore, at the first peal, he held up a finger to pause the roundtable discussion of an energy takeover that would make him the de facto owner of a small country. He turned his titanium smartphone onto its custom-made back and touched the sapphire crystal screen.
