April Woo is an ABC (American Born Chinese) NYC PD Police Sergeant. Lt. Mike Sanchez (April's boyfriend) and April working together. You also get to see a bit more about "Skinny Dragon" Mother and sister cousin "Ching".
Mike and April are trying to figure out who would kill a bride on her wedding day (in the church at that). A crime of passion? But, wait before we get to far into solving the crime there is another wedding murder across town. And while the way the bride is again shot there appear to be no similarities in the families. But, there are a few things that link them together and there is a possibility a few of these things might also put "Ching" in danger. Not to mention that "Skinny Dragon" says this is bad luck for Chings wedding. Along the way April and Mike also hit some rocky patches in working together. But this is not a romance book.. This is a Mystery Thriller with a little romance thrown in on the side. | ||
