Welcome to Litsy!

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Downstairs Girl comes a YA murder mystery noir set in 1930s Los Angeles�s Chinatown. Los Angeles, 1932: Lulu Wong, star of the silver screen and the pride of Chinatown, has a face known to practically anyone, especially to the Chow sisters�May, Gemma, and Peony�Lulu's former classmates and neighbors. So the girls instantly know it's Lulu whose body they discover one morning in an out-of-the-way stable, far from the Beverly Hills mansion where she moved once her fame skyrocketed. The sisters suspect Lulu's death is the result of foul play, but the LAPD�known for being corrupt to the core�doesn't seem motivated to investigate. Even worse, there are signs that point to the possibility of a police cover-up, and powerful forces in the city want to frame the killing as evidence that Chinatown is a den of iniquity and crime, even more reason it should be demolished to make room for the construction of a new railway depot, Union Station. Worried that neither the police nor the papers will treat a Chinese girl fairly�no matter how famous and wealthy�the sisters set out to solve their friend�s murder themselves, and maybe save their neighborhood in the bargain. But with Lulu�s killer still on the loose, the girls� investigation just might put them square in the crosshairs of a coldblooded murderer.
