Description: 5" x 7.5", 234 page trade paperback titled CHINATOWN BEAT by Henry Chang/ Soho Press, Inc., ISBN # 978-1-61695-717-9, First Printing, Copyright 2006/ Jack Yu is a man haunted by his past and uncertain in his place. A New York City detective assigned to the Fifth Precinct in Chinatown, he faces daily prejudice from his brother officers and contempt in the community he serves. He is a man tormented by anger—anger over the sudden death of his father who never accepted the son’s choice of career, anger at those who prey upon the people least able to defend themselves, anger at those who accept things as they are. But he is a good detective, and this is most ably demonstrated when he takes the lead in a case where a serial rapist is targeting young Chinese girls. This plotline is subsumed when Jack is drawn into another case where the mistress of a Tong leader takes drastic action to gain her freedom, resulting in a cross-country chase and a life-changing conclusion. The book is complete and in EXCELLENT condition with some overall light wear.
