Jacob the Jew vs. the Chinese Blood: Book One J W Durrah

Publisher Marketing: When NYPD detective Jacob Jennings signs on for a three-year tour with the US Army's Military Intelligence unit, he expects to be deployed to Vietnam like his father before him. Instead, Jennings finds himself working a complex undercover sting in cooperation with the Chinese police. The drug, cherry berry is the hot new topic on the streets of Hong Kong, and while dealers and gang members insist the drug is real, no one seems to have seen it and it is not for sale there. All that's known is it's powerfully addictive, made in Hong Kong, and it causes horrifying physical side effects to certain users. Infiltrating the Chinese Blood gang and posing as an American hustler, Jacob draws closer to the drug's suspected creator, the high-ranking medical research scientist Dr. Wo Ling Cheung. Cheung's association with Jerry Baofung, a much-feared sorcerer, is unclear to others but not to Jennings. Having been raised by his grandmother teaching him the occult, Jacob is unwilling to dismiss Baofung's power as superstitious fakery. Sorcery, Jacob believes is the obvious contribution Baofung would make to the creation of cherry berry. Tracking this drug to its source, Jacob realizes he's running out of time because Cheung plans to unleash it on the streets of New York where he is already catering the drug to a dangerous clientele with unusual tastes and compulsions.
