A diplomats murder draws heiressturnedlawyer Prudence MacKenzie and former Pinkerton Geoffrey Hunter away from the opulent mansions of Gilded Age New Yorks high society and into the dark heart of Chinatown . . .February 1891: New Yorks Metropolitan Museum of Art is hosting an exhibition of Chinese art objects, timed to coincide with the arrival of a new Chinese cultural attach, Lord Peng. Prudence and Geoffrey are invited to attend the opening ceremonies. But among the throng of dignitaries making their way through the galleries is one decidedly unwelcome and unexpected visitoran assassin who stabs the attach to death, then flees through Central Park.As witnesses, Prudence and Geoffrey quickly become immersed in the case and join former New York detective Warren Lowry in investigating the murder. But there are complications. The Peng family will no longer enjoy diplomatic standing and is threatened by deportation and possible disgrace or execution in their homeland. Desperate to remain in the West, they flee into the labyrinth of Chinatown, enlisting the protection of a longlost uncle, now the leader of one of the citys most feared Tongs. But that alliance comes with a price; Pengs son must become his uncles apprentice in crime, while his eldest daughter will be forced to marry a Tong leader she has never met.With a killer still at large, bent on revenge for a longago injustice and determined to eliminate every member of the Peng family, Prudence and Geoffrey are plunged into the heart of a culture about which they know very little. Each foray into the narrow streets and alleyways of Chinatown could be their last.
