From the New York Times bestselling author of The Downstairs Girl comes a YA murder mystery noir set in 1930s Los Angeless Chinatown. nLos Angeles, 1932: Lulu Wong, star of the silver screen and the pride of Chinatown, has a face known to practically anyone, especially to the Chow sisters--May, Gemma, and Peony--Lulus former classmates and neighbors. So the girls instantly know its Lulu whose body they discover one morning in an out-of-the-way stable, far from the Beverly Hills mansion where she moved once her fame skyrocketed. n nThe sisters suspect Lulus death is the result of foul play, but the LAPD doesnt seem motivated to investigate. Even worse, there are signs that point to the possibility of a police cover-up, and powerful forces in the city want to frame the killing as evidence that Chinatown is a den of iniquity and crime, even more reason it should be demolished to make room for the construction of a new railway depot, Union Station. n nWorried that neither the police nor the papers will treat a Chinese girl fairly--no matter how famous and wealthy--the sisters set out to solve their friends murder themselves, and maybe save their neighborhood in the bargain. But with Lulus killer still on the loose, the girls investigation just might put them square in the crosshairs of a coldblooded murderer.n
