My Books

 If you have some extra time off work and need to find a new book to read,consider buying one of my four mystery novels, Dead in the Water, A Reservation for Murder, The China Connection and A Rainy Night in Georgia. To some degree these books predicted the onslaught of  illegal drugs from China.

All of the books have excellent editorial reviews on Amazon and are available for purchase there and the Barnes and Noble wcbsite.  I think you will be surprised how prescient they were

Happy New Year🎇

The Drug Crisis in America—The China Connection?

 I was recently watching a news program during which the guests debated the role of China for our drug crisis. Way back in 2015 when I published my first Lt. Morales novel, Dead in the Water (a Number 1 free Amazon best-seller), I began pointing to the Chinese involvement in  the illegal drug trade that was beginning to sweep our country. My subsequent novel, The China Connection, further brought the issue to the present. Although my books were fiction, more and more, my predictions seem to have been proven true. See for yourself. All of my books are available on Amazon and other retailers. See my website for more information. www.Ajbasinski.com

Lieutenant Morales Mysteries and Parkinson's disease

I have published three mysteries featuring the Hispanic detective, Lieutenant Mario Morales.  When I published the first of these novels, DEAD IN THE WATER, I decided to donate a portion of the earnings from the sale of the book to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Since then, I have published two other novels, A RESERVATION FOR MURDER and THE CHINA CONNECTION. I wanted to let everyone know I will do the same for those novels as well.

If you are interested in purchasing any or all three of the mysteries on Amazon either as an e-book or paperback, here is the linkhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753HWZTV?searchxofy=true&ref_=dbs_s_aps_series_rwt

The China Connection is Here!

Just in time for Christmas, The China Connection, the third thriller to in the Lieutenant Morales Mystery series was published and is available on Amazon in e-book for Kindle and paperback.

When Lieutenant Morales is accused of trying to murder his wife, the exotic Sun Li, Morales will go to any length to find the real attacker. His search takes him from South Florida to Shanghai. While in China, he unearths a a conspiracy involving an American senator with presidential ambitions at its center.

The China Connection is a political thriller torn from today's breaking news headlines about collusion that will keep you guessing until the very last page.

This is fiction, right?  Or is it?

60 Minutes on the Opiate Crisis

Goodreads Giveaway Ends Today

Today is the last day to enter to win a free copy of my mystery thriller, Dead in the Water, on Goodreads. Only 5 copies are available.

The Chinese and the drug called "spice"

Here is an interesting article from today's New York Times that discusses the connection between the Chinese and a very powerful and dangerous new drug that is available in the United States and which has caused hundreds of deaths.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/29/us/arrest-opens-window-on-chinas-role-in-designer-drug-market.html?_r=0

The reason I am referencing the article is because the new story has many parallels in my new mystery/thriller, "Dead in the Water." Take a look at my book (available on Amazon for Kindle for only $2.99) and you will see why my book looks like it was taken directly from today's headlineshttp://www.amazon.com/Dead-Water-J-Basinski/dp/1503270726/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1432925033&sr=8-6&keywords=dead+in+the+water.
