Chinatown Beat

A Chinese-American detective takes on the seedy underworld of NYC's Chinatown.

The New York Times - Marilyn Stasio

Chinatown Beat a debut police procedural by Henry Chang, focuses a noir lens on the bewildering warren of streets in downtown Manhattan that waves of immigrants from mainland China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia have made into a culturally exclusive community, and the view he presents is pretty shocking … Chang has a cool, measured style that lets in some light, but not much hope, on a society that lives by its own rules.

Henry Chang was born and raised in New York City's Chinatown where he now lives. He is a graduate of Pratt Institute and CCNY and is currently a Security Director. He is the author of CHINATOWN BEAT, the first mystery in the Detective Jack Yu series.
