November 2009 | Mystery
Paperback
978-1-56947-604-8

"Chang's second novel (after 2006's Chinatown Beat) offers another tantalizing glimpse of precinct and street life in Manhattan's Chinatown….Chang deftly keeps the action moving as he brings the Chinatown neighborhood alive in all its guises."—Publishers Weekly

"Noir fiction in its purest form: terse, unflinching, and palpable prose infused with a full-sensory realism that makes atmosphere its most intimate character….Chang vividly articulates the feel of New York’s Chinatown to provide an unusual and explicit perspective of a culture that’s underrepresented in modern crime fiction…It’s a dynamic of tension, and it works here. This is the second Jack Yu novel; hopefully more will follow."—Crimespree Magazine


Synopsis:

He's been transferred to a different precinct, but Jack cannot get away from Chinatown's criminals—his old friends—who have hooked up with the Hong Kong-based triads in an elaborate nationwide credit card fraud, nor from the Chinese victims who cry out for justice, like the teenage Chinese take-out delivery boy brutally murdered in the projects.
