No Chinese Whiskey
A Rhys Taylor Story

Rhys Taylor thought the quiet life in Lake Tahoe was finally within reach.

But when an old contact from British intelligence calls with a troubling mystery at the docks of San Francisco, Taylor and his longtime friend Harold "Digger" Graves are pulled back into the shadows of international intrigue.

What begins as a simple investigation into suspicious cargo shipments quickly reveals something far more dangerous. Containers labeled as harmless cooking oil are hiding chemical precursors for fentanyl production, smuggled through the busiest ports on the West Coast. Behind the operation lies a web of shell companies, corrupt insiders, and the ruthless reach of the Macau Triads.

To expose the truth, Taylor and Digger must go undercover on the docks, track the shipments inland, and infiltrate a heavily guarded operation disguised as a California winery. But when their investigation blows their cover, they find themselves hunted by professional killers with nothing to lose.

Now the clock is ticking—and the fight to shut down the operation may cost them everything.

No Chinese Whiskey is a high-stakes Rhys Taylor thriller packed with espionage, international crime, and relentless action from the San Francisco waterfront to the vineyards of Northern California.
