Description - Murder On Bamboo Lane by Naomi Hirahara
Rookie cop Ellie Rush has dreams of being a homicide detective, but for now she patrols the mean streets of Los Angeles on a bicycle. And trouble can be waiting for her around any corner or down any dark alley...
It's the day of the Chinese New Year Parade, and bike cop Ellie Rush is part of the increased police presence on the streets of L.A.'s Chinatown to ensure order and safety. When she hears a report on her radio that a dead body has been found in an alley nearby, she has a sick feeling of dread that it's Jenny Nguyen, a former college classmate, who's gone missing.
This is one time Ellie wishes her instincts weren't so good- Jenny has been shot. The murder is personal to Ellie, but what's odd is the interest other officials are taking in the case, including her Aunt Cheryl, the highest-ranking Asian-American officer in the LAPD (a source of pride to her grandmother, but annoyance to Ellie's mom). Not wanting to jeopardize her job or rock the family, Ellie attempts to penetrate the blue wall of silence around the murder with help from her college friends. Unfortunately, Jenny's killer may go to any lengths to ensure this rookie doesn't live to see her next promotion...
