In Chinatown to deliver a baby, midwife Sarah Brandt meets a group of women she might otherwise never have come across: Irish girls who, after alighting on Ellis Island alone, have married Chinese men in the same predicament. But faced with bigotry in New York from every side, their mixed-race children are often treated badly, by the Irish, the Chinese -- even the police. When the new mother's half-Chinese and half-Irish fifteen-year-old niece goes missing, Sarah knows that alerting the constables would prove futile. So she turns to Detective Serfeant Frank Malloy -- and together they begin the search themselves. And after they find the girl, dead in an alley, Sarah and Malloy have ample suspects -- from both sides of Canal Street.
