[edit] Plot

Based on actual events, Formosa Betrayed is a telling of the investigation an American cop conducts of a Taiwanese-American professor in a small Midwestern American town.

From the Formosa Betrayed website:

During a routine small-town murder investigation of a Taiwanese-American professor, a disenfranchised cop—suffering from an identity crisis and a loss of faith in the justice system—slowly unearths a spiderweb of international secrets that has been thriving within college campuses across America for decades. With the help of the outspoken widow and a Taiwanese spy, he finds himself on a head-on collision not only with his own personal demons, but also with the U.S. State Department, the Chinese Mafia, and ultimately the highest levels of the ruling Chinese Government in Taiwan.
