Set in New York City in the mid 70's, Ed Lin's new novel is a sequel to 2007's This is a Bust, again starring Chinese-American NYPD detective Robert Chow. These days, Chow finds himself cut off from the action as he works undercover while the rest of his department handles a major investigation. When a double murder surfaces in Chinatown, Chow gets his chance to track down a criminal kingpin who has been smuggling humans.

"Lin portrays the police, including his lead, warts and all, and paints a convincing picture of Manhattan's Chinatown. Readers... will be well rewarded." - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
