Review
Praise for Lucky
"A turbo-charged requiem for a blood brotherhood rooted in an impossibly distant past."--Kirkus Reviews "Yu struggles between his loyalties formed growing up in New York's Chinatown and his role as a police officer in the very same neighborhood... The sparse writing infused with Chinatown culture will appeal to those who are drawn to noir mysteries with a rich cultural component."
--Library Journal
"Chang's style balances the hardboiled cynicism of the New York City streets with the more enriching philosophies and traditions of China."
--Bookgasm Praise for the Detective Jack Yu Investigations "Exciting and absorbing."
--The Wall Street Journal "For readers who relish noir suspense, it doesn't get any better than this."
--The Boston Globe "Chang writes in a strong, tight style and shares an insider's look at
Chinese-American culture."
--Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine "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. A real discovery."
--Richard Price, author of Lush Life
