It’s a good question, though one Jack spends more time debating than resolving. “How does a cop get help from a community that has no faith in officers of the law?” Jack wonders. But except for Ah Por, an ancient fortuneteller who tells Jack, “I see fire, and someone with small ears,” nobody’s talking, and Jack knows why: They see the problem as something for their local tongs, Hip Ching and Fuk Ching, to deal with in-house. Detective Jack Yu assumes that any number of people know something about the man who’s assaulting little girls. Chang’s debut sends a cop from New York’s Chinatown back into his old neighborhood to solve a case of serial rape and murder.Ĭhinatown is a place where everybody knows everybody’s business. ![]()
