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!
