Red Jade – The bodies of a young man and woman are discovered at an address in the Bloody Angle, Chinatown’s historic Tong battleground. Chinese-American NYPD Detective Jack Yu had thought he was done working the Chinatown beat, but old allegiances pull him back in. Is it a simple murder-suicide? As a puzzling web of links to the criminal underworld reveal themselves, Detective Yu’s investigation takes him across the country to another Chinatown, this one in Seattle. Jack tracks a cold-blooded Chinese gangster and a mysterious Hong Kong femme fatale.
