Description
Set in 1976 New York City, Snakes Can't Run is a gripping sequel to This Is a Bust. Detective Robert Chow is still haunted by his past and relegated to undercover work, but when the bodies of two undocumented Chinese men are found under the Brooklyn Bridge underpass, he's drawn into a case that puts him on the trail of ruthless human smugglers.
As Chow gets closer to solving the murder, dark truths about his own family's past begin to emerge. This gritty procedural is steeped in retro urban attitude and offers commentary on minorities' roles in American society. Fans of police procedurals will appreciate its intricate plot and nuanced exploration of complex themes.
