About the book
Detective Jack Yu grew up in Chinatown. Some of his friends are criminals now; some are dead. Jack has just been transferred to his old neighbourhood, where 99 percent of the cops are white. Unlike the others, confused by the residents who speak another language even when they're speaking English, Jack knows what's going on. This debut mystery from Henry Chang powerfully conveys the sights, sounds and smells of Chinatown, as well as the attitudes of its inhabitants.
