Lucky survives one assassination attempt by the gangs in New York's Chinatown. But he disregards his childhood friend, Detective Jack Yu, who advises him to get out of the criminal life. While Yu struggles with his own problems: love life, guild about neglecting his father, hostile co-workers, Lucky puts together a crew to fight his way back into the Chinese underworld. More of a caper novel in some ways than a mystery, this book is a fast-paced plunge into a foreign culture.

Loosely constructed portrait of the underbelly of Chinatown, with glimpses into the lives of a Chinese-American detective, a Chinese godfather type, his mistress, his driver, and other crime operators.

Jack Yu, a cop from a Chinese background, has returned to police his old neighbourhood in New York's Chinatown.
We follow two other characters as well, both with dreams of escaping--a limo driver and a rich Tong leader's mistress.
Prejudice and racism and American society are dealt with, as well as entrenched criminality in the Chinese community.
Different perspective. Interesting.
