Join part-time fixer Chance Yang as he delves into a world of mystery and mayhem in this 2023 Readers' Favorite Book Award Urban Fiction finalist!

Forced from her central London apartment by a nearby fire, Joyce Peng seeks refuge with her ex-girlfriend, Tilly Wurman, a now-married pharmacist. 

When Joyce can't seem to let go of their past and becomes obsessed with suicide methods, Tilly becomes concerned.

Yet, when Joyce turns up dead a few days later, her brother isn't convinced that his sister's mental state led to her end.

This isn't just another day at the office for M&A consultant Chance Yang, especially when his boss, Felipe Kazama, seems to know more about Joyce Peng's death than he's letting on. And as the reluctant fixer discovers, the deeper he delves into the cases, the harder it becomes to uncover the truth...
