"An auspicious beginning."- Richmond Times-Dispatch A real discovery."-Richard Price, author of Freedomland and Clockers " Chinatown Beat is a classic noir, filled with longing, violence, and that uniquely urban melancholy, but it also brings something new to the table, a loving specificity of a people and place, the multicultures of New York's Chinatown, that has rarely if ever been encountered in fiction before.

"It is an evocative, often bleak, but fascinating view of being at 'cross-cultural odds' that fuels Chinatown Beat, the successful debut by New York author Henry Chang."- South Florida Sun-Sentinel


"For readers who relish noir suspense, it doesn't get much better than this stunning novel."- The Boston Globe "This is a nasty, terse slice of noir, and Yu is a fellow whose adventures should be worth following."- The Washington Post Book World
