Klappentext
A never-before-seen glimpse into the rarefied world of the Ghost Shadows, New York's powerful Chinese crime organization of the 1970s and 80s - written by the young leader who ran it: reformed gangster Peter Chin.Only in fairy tales can a poor orphan become royalty. But in New York City's Chinatown, one street kid managed to rise to the top ranks of a criminal gang dynasty.
This is no fairy tale. This really happened . . .
IN THE GHOST SHADOWS
They were the most powerful gang in Chinatown. Like the notorious crime families of the Italian Mob, the Asian youth gang known as the Ghost Shadows carved out their own territory in New York's underworld and ruled those streets for decades. Its leader Peter Chin, a young immigrant from the outskirts of Hong Kong, not only found a new family among his fellow gang members, he became one of the two most powerful men in Chinatown's history at that time. He even straddled the line between the city's Asian Mob and the Italian Mafia, adopted as a "godson" of a high-ranking member of the Genovese crime family. Eventually it all came crashing down--when Chin and twenty-four other Ghost Shadows were indicted and imprisoned for racketeering under the RICO Act. But throughout his twenty years in prison, and even since his release, Chin has kept his code of silence . . .
Until now.
