Condizione: Very Good. In Chinatown to deliver a baby, Sarah Brandt meets a group of women she might otherwise never have come across: Irish girls who, after alighting on Ellis Island alone, have married Chinese men in the same predicament.

So she turns to Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy--and together they begin the search themselves. And after they find her, dead in an alley, Sarah and Malloy have ample suspects--from both sides of Canal Street.…
