Review: Chinatown Beat by Henry Chang

New today in the January Magazine crime fiction section, contributing editor Anthony Rainone reviews Henry Chang’s debut effort, Chinatown Beat.

“Some of the best crime novels are sociological explorations of place and time,” Rainone writes, “in which law-breaking and mystery-solving elements are infused into a framework of cultural mores. There is perhaps no finer example of this technique than in Henry Chang’s Chinatown Beat.”
