Peking Duck And Cover: A Noodle Shop Mystery (A Noodle Shop Mystery, 10)

Chinese New Year is supposed to be a time of fresh beginnings and celebrations of good fortune to come. Naturally, the shop owners of Asia Village jump at the chance to support property manager Ian Sung when he suggests creating a memorable holiday event that will bring positive light to the plaza, and prosperity for all those involved. With Lana Lee as his right-hand woman, Ian orchestrates an extravagant evening.

But at the end of the night, during an elaborate firework show, a member of the lion dance performance team is found dead backstage with a red envelope in their pocket containing four one-dollar bills - an omen of death. Ian Sung takes it upon himself, again enlisting Lana’s help, to find out who could have killed the talented dancer.
