It is 1940 and private investigator Miranda Corbie is in San Francisco's Chinatown during a Chinese New Year celebration when she finds Eddie Takahashi, shot and dying, on the ground in front of her. The police want the killing hushed up, but Corbie is determined to find the truth.

Great setting and research into the “backdrop” of the story. Terrific story, interesting and engaging characters. The noir went a little overboard at times, and the lead character, Miranda, had self-control around men that was superhuman. Still, those are relatively minor quibbles - the plot story moved along at a fast clip and kept me engaged and reluctant to put the book down. I look forward to her next one.
