“This high-octane revenge caper, set largely in the Chinese crime underworld, follows a sheltered American college student pursuing his father’s killers. A propulsive entertainment that also raises interesting ideas about identity and privilege.”

A fresh, smart, and fast-paced revenge thriller, bursting with personality and pathos

Victor Li is devastated by his father’s murder, and shocked by a confessional letter he finds among his father’s things. In it, his father admits that he was never just a restaurateur—in fact he was part of a vast international crime syndicate that formed during China’s leanest communist years.

Victor travels to Beijing, where he navigates his father’s secret criminal life, confronting decades-old grudges, violent spats, and a shocking new enterprise that the organization wants to undertake. Standing up against it is likely what got his father killed, but Victor remains undeterred. He enlists his growing network of allies and friends to finish what his father started, no matter the costs.
