Tucker has been kicked out of college. On his way to St. Louis to look for work, he meets and picks up Corinne Chang at a highway rest stop. They both end up employed in a Chinese restaurant, and Tucker soon learns that Corinne's life is even more complicated than his own. Together, they take on the FBI, Canadian Chinese mafia, diamond thieves, a Chinese restaurant cook-off, and a budding romance. As lighthearted as Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels and with only slightly more believable characters, this debut novel is filled with witty dialog and a surprising amount of detail on Chinese American culture.
