He�s been transferred to a different precinct, but Detective Jack Yu 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.

Henry Chang was born and raised in New York City�s Chinatown, where he still lives. His debut novel, Chinatown Beat, was hailed in several best of 2006 lists.
