The Beijing Ghosts is Book 3 of the Beijing Family book series and
will delight your ghoulish fantasies with suspense, drama and
entertainment In this new saga, Kara Chan gains a new real estate
listing of an old mansion estate high up in the desolate hills of
Bel Air of greater Los Angeles. The owners are deceased for over
twenty years; no one has set foot in the home and strange
unexplainable incidents begin occurring. On the day of her open
house, four mysterious guests arrive from old Peking, or the name
called for the city of Beijing during the early 1900's and appears
to have stepped right out of that era and not a day older. Nothing
is quite as it appears as Kara soon discovers the links the four
guests have to the former owners and their lucratively successful
and yet dark secretive businesses they carried on in the mansion
mired in illicit and sordid pasts. One in particular is a tall
sultry Chinese lady wearing a red Chinese qi pao dress with a
Mandarin collar and dark green jade earrings who sternly warns Kara
about the unspeakable events of the mansion. As dark shadows cast
upon the house, Kara battles unrelenting ghosts and a blood-thirsty
Chinese female poltergeist with powerful aid from Chinese feng shui
and a renowned Voodoo priestess from New Orleans.
The Beijing Family is a hilarious and entertainingly funny comedy
series about the personal life of a wealthy Chinese billionaire and
his family. In this first book, the humble self-made manufacturing
billionaire Simon Wang moves his family from Beijing to Beverly
Hills so his teenage son can obtain an American college education.
Raised in a one child policy generation, the priviledged son is shy
and talented in martial arts. Simon's mother is a relic from the
Cultural Revolution that practices traditional Chinese medicine in
their gourmet kitchen. She constantly fears the next Red Army
soldier invasion and iminent famine. Arriving later, his niece is a
young beauty queen from Beijing whose best friend is a Bernese
Mountain Dog that is better fed and groomed than all the migrant
workers in China. Together, they settle in their new home in
Beverly Hills. With strong roots to China transitioning into
Beverly Hills modern luxury, their cultural adjustments are fun and
comedic. Mired in old China, the grandmother is undoubtedly
unsophisticated but surprises her newfound friends in Beverly Hills
at the end in this first book. This is surely not to be missed
