Riassunto

Detective Jack Yu grew up in Chinatown. Some of his old friends are criminals now; some are dead. Jack has just been transferred to the precinct for his old neighborhood where 99% of the cops are white. Unlike the others, confused by the residents who speak another language even when they're conversing in English, Jack knows what's going on.
He is confronted by a serial rapist who preys on young Chinese girls. Then Uncle Four, the respected, elderly leader of the Hip Ching, a benevolent society - and also a member of the Red Circle Triad - is gunned down. Jack learns that kindly old Uncle Four had a gorgeous young mistress, imported from Hong Kong. She is missing.
To solve these crimes, in addition to using modern police technology Jack turns to an elderly fortune teller and to an old friend who is now a crook.
