| For their entire lives, Jack Styles and Ming Lo have vehemently despised one another. The public disgrace and personal shame of Jack's American father seducing Ming's mother, leaving her pregnant with Jack and destroying Ming's family, had permanently skewed Ming's moral compass. The same mother was all these two shared, until a rival gang attacked and murdered her--due to Ming's early gangland corruption. To Ming, the loss was simply a "casualty of war." But that was China, and this is Chinatown...San Francisco--a city not quite big enough for the clash of these two forces. At the age of thirty, Jack Styles has quickly risen through the ranks of the San Francisco Police Department to become one of the city's youngest detectives. Ming Lo, at thirty-five, has come to America for his cut of the American Dream--including wealth, power, and respect. After only a few short months, Ming and his associates have taken over the existing extortion racket, bullying every Chinatown business owner into paying them a percentage of their profits. Now, Ming is increasing his clientele by moving into white neighborhoods. People are dying, and businesses are BOOMING--rocked by the explosions of those who refuse payment. Ming must be stopped. In a crescendo of pent-up emotion, now lasting two decades, Jack and Ming are pitted against one another in a violent showdown. Last brother standing wins...his life...and loses his last connection to his mother. |
