Summary

With no memory of who he is, private investigator James Ray wakes up in Russia. Kidnapped by the Yakuza, he’s been turned into a pawn in a global conspiracy. With only his instincts and a loyal dog by his side James must navigate a brutal underworld to reclaim his life.
 
Meanwhile, his girlfriend Tara, a former elite operative, is held captive by Ryu Murakami: a Yakuza mastermind with ambitions that stretch across continents. Trapped in a web of trafficking and arms deals, she’s forced into a psychological battle that will test the limits of her strength and training.
 
As James fights to survive and Tara plans her escape, danger closes in. From backroom deals in Tokyo to violent standoffs in Moscow, a coded tattoo known only as "108" holds the key to unraveling a sinister empire of crime.
 
A relentless, adrenaline-fueled thriller, CAGED is the second book in the Death World series by Lee Pletzers.

    Anxious to get married, thirty-year-old Virginia Carey lands a job as an operator at a police tip line, where she thinks finding a husband will be easy. There’s Charlie Ford, a surprisingly sweet homicide detective, and charming police chief Declan “Deck” Brady. But just as Virginia’s plans begin to fall into place and she can almost picture a ring on her finger, she answers a call from Verona—a mysterious woman who provides a tip about four bodies on a remote local beach. Verona, a sex worker, also gives Virginia details on sordid and raucous parties attended by law enforcement officers—and on the strange fetishes of cops she has been involved with. Then comes an explosive tip: Verona thinks it’s a police officer who is responsible for the killings. But it can’t be true—the cops Virginia works with are marriage material, even if they are a little rough around the edges. While Verona trusts that her tips are being heard because she and Virginia have formed an unusual connection, Virginia realizes that the key to solving the case is ultimately in her hands. The tip line will reveal the truth about those murders. So long as Virginia is willing to hear it.
