Description
In a small Midwestern town, the Chao family’s celebrated Chinese restaurant becomes the center of a shocking murder investigation when patriarch Leo Chao is found dead. Suspicion falls on his three very different sons, whose rivalries, loyalties, and competing visions for the family’s future expose long-buried tensions. Inspired in part by the structure of a classic family tragedy, the novel explores immigrant identity, generational conflict, race, class, ambition, and the elusive meaning of belonging. Both an absorbing mystery and a richly layered portrait of family life, it combines sharp social observation with emotional depth and dark humor.
