21 Immortals

by Rozlan Mohd Noor

"Look, I don't care what happened in ninety-five. I have a murder to solve. Right now, you and Fatty Mah have motives. Maybe you and Fatty didn't do it. Maybe the two of you did, or contracted it out. Either way, I'm going to find out," the inspector says firmly, having reached the limit of his patience, annoyed with Four Finger's attitude.

"You have a hearing problem, meh? I told you it's not our style. We don't do families and children," Four Finger Loo replies, equally irritated.

"As you said, that was how it used to be, but not anymore. Maybe, you used non-triad methods to throw us off the track. How's that for a theory? To me, payback is a damn good motive to kill," Mislan replies, watching the retired Tiger General's face closely for giveaways signs.

21 Immortals: Inspector Mislan and the Yee Sang Murders is an explosive debut from the quietly talented Rozlan Mohd Noor, an ex-police officer, which explains why he knows so much about police work and inside stories. This is a true Malaysian high-tech crime thriller with good cops, bad cops (and badder cops) and triad members, with insights into the workings of the local CSI, and forays into the world of hackers and their viruses, sleeper programs, trojans, ulat, spybots, hound dogs and their link to crime, including murder.

Rozlan Mohd Noor was an officer with the Royal Malaysian Police for 11 years before opting for a career in human resource management. He worked at several major corporations and multinationals, eventually starting his own HR and security consultancy.
Even after leaving the force, the evolution of crime scene investigation (CSI) and the introduction of technology continued to fascinate him. He wrote crime stories to entertain friends. Later, encouraged by them, he started working on novels.

This novel is Malaysian Sherlock Holmes, which is entertaining, exciting and thrilling. It has potential to be turned in to a movie because of its great title, a wonderful mix of characters and a complex storyline. This novel was also shortlisted for the Commonwealth Best First Book Award - 2011 (South Asia and Pacific)
