| Summary: |
"San Francisco, 1940... Miranda Corbie - thirty-three-year-old private investigator, Spanish Civil War nurse, and escort - waits impatiently in a Chinatown crowd. Fireworks explode as the city celebrates Chinese New year with a Rice Bowl Party, a three-day-and-night carnival designed to raise money for China's war relief. Then Eddie Takahashi stumbles - fatally shot... The cops want the killing covered up. All Miranda wants is justice - whatever it costs."--Publisher description. |
