Highly recommended.”—Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEd Lin's big-hearted, eye-opening fifth installment in the fan-favorite Taipei Night Market series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJing-nan, the owner of the most popular food stand in Taipei’s world-famous Shilin night market, is hauling trash after a successful evening of hawking Taiwanese delicacies to tourists when he finds a corpse propped up against the dumpsters. The dead man turns out to be Juan Ramos, a Philippine national who came to Taiwan for a job at a massive ZHD food processing plant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJing-nan is haunted by Ramos’s story, and by the heartbreak of his family, who arrive in Taipei looking for answers. ZHD has a history of safety violations, and activists have a hunch Ramos’s death might be part of a cover-up. Meanwhile, Jingnan’s gangster uncle, Big Eye, has his own mysterious, probably illegal, reasons for being concerned about what’s going on in ZHD. He pressures Jing-nan into a daring and risky mission: going undercover as a migrant laborer to get a job at the food processing plant and reporting back about the conditions inside. Jing-nan hopes to find out the truth for the Ramos family, and to save other immigrant lives—but first he has to survive the spy operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis rollicking crime novel is a scorching, timely examination of our global dependence on undocumented immigrants.","brand":"Soho Crime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48644535910655,"sku":"9781641299015","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781641299015_s600x595.jpg?v=1780932854","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781641299015","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
