Year of the Dog by Henry Chang PDF Summary

Book Description: "There are Chinatowns in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, London ... in many different countries all around the globe. But wherever they are located geographically, Chinatown is one community, Fire a gun in New York's Chinatown and the echo reverberates seconds later in Hong Kong. Political pressures emanating from Mainland China are felt by the new wave of immigrants on Mott, Hester, and Delancey Streets in hours." "American-born Jack Yu became one of the few ethnically Chinese officers in the NYPD. Now he has been promoted out of the Chinatown Precinct. But he cannot get away from Chinatown's criminals - his old friends - who are hooked up with Hong Kong based triads in a crooked scam of international proportions." "Henry Chang shows us the people he understands so well: a Chinese yuppie whose loss of face ends in tragedy; an ailing bookie with romance in his soul; a would-be gang leader and the tough new immigrants from Fukien who confront him; and the triad official, Grass Sandal, sent from Hong Kong to liase with local benevolent societies. Year of the Dog shows us what exists beneath the surface of the tourists' Chinatown."--BOOK JACKET.
