Mandarin Yellow
A mystery introducing Socrates Cheng
 

Why would a burglar break into an art gallery in Washington, DC's Georgetown neighborhood and steal an historic fountain pen [known as the Mandarin Yellow] worth $2,200, but leave behind several hundred other artifacts and works of art worth tens of thousands of dollars each?

And why would someone else later commit murder to protect the burglar's secret?

These are some of the questions that Socrates Cheng, an American of Chinese and Greek descent, must face as he is reluctantly dragged into the investigation of the burglary by his girlfriend's father, the notorious head of a Washington, DC, Chinatown criminal Triad.

 

What they are saying about Mandarin Yellow:

"A wonderful read which I completely enjoyed. Didn't see the ending coming at all. A wonderfully woven
mixture of culture, history and mystery / suspense. I loved it and really look forward to number two."

"Mandarin Yellow is an intelligent mystery, intricately wrapped in a Chinese puzzle, that entertains even as it subtly informs."
