The Messages and Proclamations of the Governors of Iowa V1 (1903)

In a strange motel room, on the night before his wedding, retired Detective Sergeant Chad Belmontes awakens to a living nightmare. On the bed beside him is the body of a strangled hooker, and everything points to him as her killer. With no memory of how he got there or who the dead woman is, he flees the grisly scene determined to find out what really happened. To learn the answer, he must begin his own desperate search for the truth. And he must find it before the police arrest him for murder. With the help of his fianceA©, Cassie Wong, Belmontes turns up several leads that suggest someone is trying to frame him. But the closer he comes to discovering the identity of the murderer, the more incredible his situation becomes. Every clue points to a man who he knows is irrefutably dead. A Chinese crime boss, gunned down in a Chinatown alley-and Belmontes pulled the trigger.
