Year Of The Dog by Henry Chang

A gritty, character-driven crime novel set in New York’s Chinatown that follows a second-generation Chinese-American detective as he investigates a brutal murder which uncovers corruption, gang rivalries, and the pressures of gentrification; as the case deepens it forces him to confront family obligations, community loyalties, and his own conflicted identity, revealing painful secrets and moral compromises that threaten both his career and the neighborhood he’s trying to protect.
