The body of an elderly Chinese importer of rare jade lies on the
carpet of a quietly expensive house in Pasadena, California. In a
rough semicircle around his head rest four pieces of jade;
protruding from the heart is a fifth-the Ya-Chang ritual knife. Who
murdered the importer? Was it Yumeko, the beautiful half-black,
half-Japanese girl who lived with him? Johnny Wu, a rich
Chinese-American? Another customer? Or a political enemy from
overseas? Black homicide detective Virgil Tibbs finds himself in
the middle of a deadly situation involving hard drugs, Communist
Chinese agents, and the exotic settings of the jade trade as he
coolly tracks down the murderer.
