Introduced is \u003cstrong\u003eRachel Chung\u003c\/strong\u003e, a refreshing Chinese heroine for the times. She's no self-inflicted victim with a superficially scowling attitude, terminally complaining about the supposed travails of \"Asian-American\" assimilation. Her inner strength of character as a young Chinese woman emanates from within, not from without. First found down and out in the city's most \u003cem\u003eexotic\u003c\/em\u003e and mysterious \u003cem\u003eOriental\u003c\/em\u003e quarter, lamenting the loss of a Spanish lover in the city's Mission district, Rachel saves Ferrari's life only to lure him into a dangerous case involving the most treacherous practice of that insidious crime of \u003cem\u003esex\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eslavery\u003c\/em\u003e! If you ever thought that you knew Chinatown's scariest and most darkly hidden secrets, then think again: dispatched to prove that a young murdered Chinese girl, \u003cem\u003e Kum Quai\u003c\/em\u003e, is not a district prostitute, the tough private detective is compelled to embark upon an exploration in which forces, both past and present, collide and collude to pose life-altering dilemmas for these suddenly endangered characters. From the barracoons to the brothels to the temples, Ferrari's taken on a grand, guided tour of Chinatown's most sinister and forbidden corners, leading to a climactic encounter with a Chinese godfather atop San Francisco's iconic \u003cstrong\u003eTransamerica Pyramid\u003c\/strong\u003e. For Ferrari, it's ultimately a startling journey of self-discovery. For the reader, it's a wholly engrossing, staggering, and unforgettable experience! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 206\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 21, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47252215562489,"sku":"9780943283500","price":28.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/V0RTandEVDZTK0UyeEpMZmRvY2Jndz09.webp?v=1768684672","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/francesco-ferrari-explores-chinatown-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
