“Yu is a fellow whose adventures should be worth following.”—The Washington Post Book World

“Should make the locals sit up and gasp.”—New York Times Book Review

“A worthy debut…. Chang writes with stark power and authority, covering the territory as only an insider can. He evokes the spirit, sights, smells and language of his setting in compelling fashion.”—Chicago Sun-Times

“Noir suspense… it doesn’t get much better than this stunning novel.”—Boston Globe

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.

Henry Chang was born and raised in Chinatown where he now lives. He is a graduate of Pratt Institute and CCNY and is currently a Security Director.
