Publisher's summary

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Downstairs Girl comes a YA murder mystery noir set in 1930s Los Angeles’s Chinatown.

“A captivating and crackling noir full of suspenseful twists. Readers will fall in love with the Chow sisters and their quest for the truth.”—Kathleen Glasgow, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces and The Agathas

LOS ANGELES, 1932: Lulu Wong, star of the silver screen and the pride of Chinatown, has a face known to practically everyone, especially the Chow sisters—May, Gemma, and Peony—Lulu’s former classmates and neighbors. So the girls instantly know it’s Lulu when they discover a body one morning in an out-of-the-way stable, far from the Beverly Hills home where she lived after her fame skyrocketed.

The sisters suspect Lulu’s death is the result of foul play, but the police don’t seem motivated to investigate. Even worse, there are signs that point to a 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 Lulu fairly—no matter her fame and wealth—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 cold-blooded murderer.

Critic reviews

“A gripping whodunit that will transport readers into the golden age of film. Stacey Lee dazzles in this brilliant murder mystery.”—Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Once Upon a Broken Heart series

“Old Hollywood with the well-known glamour and the lesser-known girls. Stacey Lee is inimitable in enthralling historical fiction.”—Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights


“Lee hits all the staples of what readers look for in a good mystery, from red herrings to excellently paced reveals, and the final curtain call on the villain is unexpected yet satisfying . . . Readers looking for a twisty historical murder mystery with a bit of Hollywood flair and strong characters worthy of being the stars of the show should pick this one up immediately.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Solid and Steady

This book was solid and steady all the way through. I always love sister relationships and family dynamics. This was very well written, the pacing was strong and kept you involved without racing through or guessing the end. I felt immersed in 1930s LA and the Chinese community through the sisters and their voice. I am pleased and happy with this book.

Great easy read

Love that it wasn’t gruesome, it was “clean”, but also fun! Agatha Christie style. The characters, sisters, very endearing and piqued my curiosity of the Chinese population in the 1920’s and ‘30’s.

Another win for Stacey Lee

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stacey Lee really never disappoints! I haven’t read a bad book from her yet. She does such a great job with HF & I always love the details she includes about the Chinese culture. Like all god HF novels, you learn so much through a great story! Another win for this author with this crime noir set in Old Hollywood.
