The next addition in the wonderful series featuring Sarah Brandt, nurse-midwife and Detective Francis Malloy during the turn of the century , centers around the bigotry toward the Chinese in New York City. Angel Lee, a half Chinese and half Irish teenager is promised in marriage to a rich forty year old Chinese man who is a friend of her father. She refuses to marry him and elopes with the man she loves, a handsome Irishman, whose family does not approve of the union any more than hers does. Her family tries to lure her home, but she refuses.....Instead she is found dead in an alley...strangled. In this book we learn much of the Chinese culture and mores....Excellent.... Love this series
