Description: "Market Gardener, Chow Yat, lived on the outskirts of Wanganui in post-WWI New Zealand, a time of rampant xenophobia. On 31 May 1922 this humble, hardworking Chinese man was brutally shot four times. Author Joan Rosier-Jones brings this true and intriguing murder story to life. As a 'cold case detective' she probes, investigates and scrutinises the facts. With an objective viewpoint and an inquisitive approach she pulls the threads of evidence into a compelling read." -- Back cover.
