Description
Welcome to San Jose, the hi-tech capital of Silicon Valley, where the streets are lined with silicon instead of fruit trees. But beneath the shiny facade of this city lies a dark and dangerous underbelly that can easily turn the so-called 'safest large city in America' into a lie. Seasoned San Jose Police Department police detectives Rex Johnson and Kat Sanchez know this all too well as they navigate through the treacherous world of crime in their city.
From sex crimes to financial fraud, they've seen it all. But their latest case is unlike anything they've encountered before. As they dig deeper into a seemingly simple counterfeit check scam, they uncover a tangled web of Asian Organized Crime, led by a ruthless Vietnamese crime boss who will stop at nothing to become the ultimate kingpin of San Jose.
As their investigation heats up, so does the danger. With their families at risk and a psychopathic criminal mastermind on their trail, Rex and Kat must race against time to take down this crime boss before it is too late for them and the city they have sworn to serve and protect.
Follow Detectives Rex and Kat as they navigate through the dangerous streets of San Jose in this thrilling tale of crime, corruption, and survival. If you enjoyed books like John Connely's 'Bosch' series, then you won't want to miss this first in the series gripping crime novel set in the hi-tech world of Silicon Valley.

What's the difference between real policing and the stuff on TV? Real police departments are short of staff and even shorter on money. Regardless of where they are or whether they are rural, state, city, or county. This book is set in California.
This is not a conventional novel but a kind of compilation of fictionalized true crime episodes as experienced by real cops in a real city. The officers and detectives are the links that underscore the near reality of life for those who work in law enforcement. There is attention paid to those who stumble into a life of crime due to a gambling obsession, and/or threats and coercion for reasons known to gangsters everywhere. It certainly is something I like and can pick over with some retired cops and their wives.

I absolutely loved follow the Money, I was in awe of the author in their telling of this story. I was entertained through and completely hooked.
A book that was written like life as someone working the streets. Meeting different characters dealing with not only crimes but also the people who are supposed to be your supervisors but they don’t even know what they are doing themselves. You follow along with Rex and Kat at work and some of the off hours as they work at solving the case right up to the explosive end. An excellent book with many good characters and a storyline.
