Official synopsis Publisher
The Hong Bay district of Hong Kong is a spectacularly seedy maze of cut-rate brothels, betting shops, and other less wholesome enterprises. Keeping the peace – sort of – are the cops of the Yellowthread Street Station. They’re an intrepid (if foul-mouthed) bunch, but even their formidable skills are taxed by the Bay’s latest series of mishaps, which begin with a fellow near the fishmarket chopping up his wife with an axe. Meanwhile, notorious madam Hot Time Alice Ping and her colleague Osaka the Disemboweler are plotting revenge on the Mongolian, a giggling, freelance extortionist with a knack for hacking off folks’ fingers. It all winds up with a frenzied three-way battle against Hong Kong’s neon backdrop. And then there’s the tourist from New Jersey who seems to have misplaced his wife…. For a truly good detective story, the Yellowthread Street mysteries can’t be beat – Chicago Herald The perfect choice for fans of Donald Westlake and Ross Thomas
