    About this ebook

    An “exciting and absorbing” mystery about an NYPD homicide detective following leads that stretch from Chinatown to the Bronx and beyond (The Wall Street Journal).
     
    When the body of an unidentified Asian man surfaces in the Harlem River, Det. Jack Yu leaves his downtown precinct to investigate. The trail leads him to the Gee family, noodle manufacturers who on the surface look like the ideal immigrant success story—but Jack needs to dig deeper.
     
    Following leads from the benevolent associations of Chinatown to the take-out restaurants, strip clubs, and underground gambling establishments of the Bronx, to a wealthy, exclusive corner of New Jersey, he plunges into a world of secrets and unclear allegiances, of Chinatown street gangs and major Triad players. With the help of an elderly fortune-teller and an old friend, the unpredictable Billy Bow, he is faced with solving his most difficult case yet, in this crime thriller that “takes the reader on a tour through the Chinese communities in New York’s five boroughs that is frightening, fascinating and not a little enlightening” (The Toronto Star).

      I first saw Karolina outside the Sumesa on the corner of Avenidas Oaxaca and Álvaro Obregón. She was smoking a stubby cigarette, a sled-like backpack hitched to her shoulders. I stopped short, felt my heart lurch. Could it be? Karolina was my brother

      In this bland sequel to Red Jade the body of a young Asian man is discovered in frigid waters of the Harlem River between northern Manhattan and the Bronx. Chinese Detective Jack Yu, whose precinct is in southern Manhattan’s Chinatown, is called on the case, the simplistic implication being he is the only Asian policeman in the NYPD. Initially no wounds are seen, suggesting a bridge jumping suicide; however the autopsy reveals a thin, expertly placed knife wound and murder. Yu immediately thinks Chinatown connections and consults his friend Billy Bow, a Chinatown restaurant owner, and Ah Por, an ancient psychic whose prophesies have multiple meanings. Yu’s investigation brings him to the illicit gambling dens in Chinatown and the Bronx frequented by Chinese immigrants and highlights Chinese tong rivalry. :In the three days of the story there is little action of interest; a lot of traveling within Manhattan and the Bronx. Yu’s love interest, portrayed primarily through his muses about her body, adds nothing. Chang’s repetition of events as Yu mulls over clues is unnecessary. The use of italics to represent thoughts and Chinese words is distracting. The ending, although plausible, comes out of nowhere. Pass on this.
