“Born and raised in Manhattan’s Chinatown, Chang puts his familiarity with the neighborhood to good use in his fourth novel featuring NYPD officer Jack Yu…While the investigation follows familiar lines, the depiction of a Chinatown that tourists don’t see (e.g., seedy strip clubs) sets this apart from other gritty police procedurals.”
