Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Arby's cases are usually pretty mundane, but that changes when Lily Shanghai, a beautiful Chinese woman with a dangerous past, wants to hire him to find her younger sister, Biyu, who is missing from a Chinatown sex slave crib. Arby says no. A white guy rummaging through Chinatown would stand out like a sore thumb. He'd get nowhere. What changes his mind is the collateral damage murder of his lover, Ingrid Ventura, by a Chinatown assassin whose real target was Lilly. Arby's single-minded purpose becomes finding the man responsible for Ingy's death and ripping his heart out. His only hope of doing so is to enter Chinatown's underbelly, find Biyu and work from there to Ingy's killer. But Chinatown doesn't give up its secrets so easily, especially those involving the Civil War being waged on the Chinese mainland. When Arby uncovers a clandestine gunrunning operation, not only is he marked for death by Ingy's killer, but the U.S. War Department sets its sights on him. First book of the Arbutus Halethorpe Mystery Series. "The opening of ARBUTUS HALETHORPE AND THE CHINATOWN MURDER is strong and its copious fight scenes and character's banter verge on thrilling. Peake shines in his depictions of the physical confrontations that occur throughout the course of Arby's investigation. These scenes have a throbbing rhythm, with bursts of short, punchy sentences that drive home the character's actions and their consequences." - IndieReader_____ Arbys Faelle sind normalerweise ziemlich unspektakulaer, doch das aendert sich, als Lily Shanghai - eine schoene Chinesin mit einer gefaehrlichen Vergangenheit - ihn engagieren will, um ihre juengere Schwester Biyu zu finden, die aus einem Bordell fuer Sexsklavinnen in Chinatown verschwunden ist. Arby lehnt ab. Ein Weisser, der in Chinatown herumschnueffelt, wuerde auffallen wie ein bunter Hund. Er kaeme keinen Schritt weiter.Was ihn umstimmt, ist der Kollateralschaden: der Mord an seiner Geliebten Ingrid Ventura durch einen Chinatown-Killer, dessen eigentliches Ziel Lily war. Von diesem Moment an hat Arby nur noch ein Ziel: den Mann zu finden, der fuer Ingys Tod verantwortlich ist - und ihm das Herz herauszureissen. Seine einzige Chance besteht darin, in die Unterwelt von Chinatown einzutauchen, Biyu aufzuspueren und sich von dort aus zu Ingys Moerder vorzuarbeiten.Doch Chinatown gibt seine Geheimnisse nicht so leicht preis - besonders jene, die mit dem Buergerkrieg auf dem chinesischen Festland zusammenhaengen. Als Arby eine geheime Waffenhandelsoperation aufdeckt, wird er nicht nur von Ingys Moerder zum Abschuss freigegeben, sondern auch vom US-Kriegsministerium ins Visier genommen.Erster Band der Arbutus Halethorpe Mystery Series."Der Auftakt von ARBUTUS HALETHORPE AND THE CHINATOWN MURDER ist stark, und die zahlreichen Kampfszenen sowie der Schlagabtausch der Figuren sind nahezu mitreissend . Peake glaenzt in seinen Darstellungen der koerperlichen Auseinandersetzungen, die Arby im Laufe seiner Ermittlungen bestreiten muss. Diese Szenen haben einen pulsierenden Rhythmus, mit kurzen, praegnanten Saetzen, die die Handlungen der Figuren und ihre Konsequenzen eindringlich vermitteln ." - IndieReader This item is printed on demand.
