In this gripping crime suspense thriller, Ferrari reestablishes himself as San Francisco's iconic private detective, introducing Rachel Chung, a compelling Chinese heroine. Unlike the typical victim, Rachel embodies inner strength, navigating her challenges with resilience rather than bitterness. Initially found in the city's exotic Oriental quarter, mourning a lost love in the Mission district, she saves Ferrari's life, drawing him into a perilous case of sex slavery. As Ferrari investigates the murder of a young Chinese girl, Kum Quai, he uncovers Chinatown's darkest secrets, challenging his perceptions of the district. The case compels him to confront the colliding forces of past and present, revealing life-altering dilemmas for all involved. From barracoons to brothels and temples, Ferrari embarks on a harrowing journey through Chinatown's most sinister corners, culminating in a dramatic encounter with a Chinese godfather atop the Transamerica Pyramid. This adventure becomes a profound journey of self-discovery for Ferrari and an unforgettable experience for readers, showcasing the complexities of identity and the hidden dangers lurking within the city.
