This episode of Big Blend Radio features bestselling author Peter Kageyama who discusses his latest Kats Takemoto novel, MIDNIGHT CLIMAX.

In MIDNIGHT CLIMAX, Kats Takemoto, the nisei private detective from his first novel HUNTERS POINT, returns to investigate the murder of a young Chinese girl, killed in a covert CIA brothel in the heart of San Francisco. Her family, members of a Tong, a powerful Chinatown gang, demand vengeance that threatens to start an all-out war in Chinatown unless Kats can discover the truth behind the slaying. Along the way he will discover a personal connection to the suspected killer, a fellow veteran who was tortured and experimented on, turning him into a lethal weapon and a ticking bomb. Kats and his friends race to find this soldier before the government and the rival Tong gangs spiral into more bloodshed.
