In his fourth crime suspense thriller, FRANCESCO FERRARI EXPLORES CHINATOWN , Ferrari proves once more that he IS San Francisco's new iconic private detective for the times(not that dated Sam Spade past). Introduced is Rachel Chung , 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 exotic and mysterious Oriental 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 sex slavery ! 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, Kum Quai , 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 Transamerica Pyramid . For Ferrari, it's ultimately a startling journey of self-discovery. For the reader, it's a wholly engrossing, staggering, and unforgettable experience!
