New Book 'Nine Dragons' Similar to Ani Ashekian's case


New Book 'Nine Dragons' Similar to Ani Ashekian's case
Michael Connelly's authored new book Nine Dragons is a crime fiction, but now it's becoming more real than ever. The author was promoting the novel last year when he came across a true story that bears eerie similarities to the one he penned: the case of a missing woman named Ani Ashekian.

In an article for CNN, Connelly explains the premise of his made-up story. A detective is working on a murder case in LA when he hears that his daughter has gone missing in Hong Kong. He flies across the globe, determined to find her. According to the website FindAni.com, 31-year-old Ashekian actually disappeared in Hong Kong about a year ago. The details of her story are different, but the premise is the same.

And as it turns out, Connelly and Ashekian were both in the city just days before she went missing. He was researching for his novel while she was traveling on her own, and no one has seen or heard from her since November 10, 2008.
