When Sam Clemens finds his name on the ‘wanted list’ on Murders Wall in San Francisco’s Chinatown, he knows the hatchet men will be coming after him. He turns to Charles Goodfoote, the senior operative of Pinkerton’s Detective agency. Goodfoote heads into Chinatown to learn who was after the muckraking reporter. While there, he is also tasked with protecting a beautiful young missionary. What seems like routine assignments become more serious when the body of a politician is found, minus his head, in a sealed hotel room, a Chinese Triad thought extinct comes after Goodfoote, and a price is put on his head. The mysteries come together as Charles runs the twisted, foggy labyrinth of Chinatown, aided by an Apache woman warrior on a Hero’s Journey, a gun-toting Coroner, a Chinese spy, and an assorted cast of characters.
