About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Outfoxed is book one of the Inspector William Fox Series by Peter Thomas Pontsa.Sometimes Inspector William Fox likes to go off-script like when chasing gangsters in his cigarette boat on the St. Lawrence River. For one case, the RCMP officer with a penchant for luxury fashion finds himself teamed up with FBI Special Agent Patrick Reilly, an Irish lad who prefers absinthe to Guinness. The pair travel overseas to track down members of a gang who have kidnapped Tracy Jordan, an American academic and archeologist with teenage ties to William.In China, Tracy has been stealthily searching for evidence of Admiral Zheng He's 15th-century connections to the area that would later be known as Nova Scotia. It's here that Tracy and her team discover what might be Ming dynasty artifacts transported by Zheng He's 'massive treasure ships' left behind on Mi'kmaq peoples' ancestral land.Outfoxed-a William Fox Story is a slick, globe-trotting adventure that involves the RCMP and FBI chasing the Foo Dog Triad operating in Hong Kong, mainland China, and New York City. Like Tracy and Kevin Steptoe, a Mi'kmaq lawyer, the gangsters are after the ancient Chinese treasures. Outfoxed is also a political thriller, diving deeply into the power struggles of the Communist Party of China and its shadowy operatives. It wades into the Fox family's political past in South Korea, where a tragedy took place that still haunts William years later.

“A gripping thriller that effortlessly combines high-stakes crime, political intrigue, and raw emotional depth.” – A Limitless Reader

The first novel in the Inspector William Fox series.

A fortune worth killing for. A woman worth dying for. And a man running out of time.

RCMP Inspector William Fox doesn’t always play by the rules—like when he’s chasing gangsters through the St. Lawrence in his cigarette boat, The Midnight Fox. But after a near-fatal assassination attempt and a string of boat bombings, he’s pulled from the case and reassigned.

Meanwhile, archaeologist Tracy Jordan—William’s former sweetheart—believes a lost Chinese treasure is hidden in Nova Scotia. She travels to China for proof, only to be kidnapped by the Foo Dog Triad, who want the treasure for themselves.

Her desperate father, a retired CIA operative, begs William to work with the FBI to bring Tracy home.

But you only cheat death once… and this time, William is in way over his head.

Can he find the one who got away before she vanishes forever?
