About Ghost Month
<p>August is Ghost Month in Taiwan—a time to commemorate the dead: burn incense, visit shrines, commemorate ancestors, and avoid unlucky situations, large purchases, and bodies of water. Jing-nan, a young man who runs a food stand in a bustling Taipei night market, doesn't consider himself superstitious, but this August is going to haunt him no matter what he does. He is shocked to the core when he learns his ex-girlfriend from high school has been murdered. She was found scantily clad and shot in the chest on the side of a highway where she was selling betel nuts to passing truck drivers. Beyond his harrowing grief for this lost love of his life, Jing-nan is also confused by the news: "betel nut beauties" are usually women in the most desperate of circumstances; the job is almost as taboo as prostitution. But Julia Huang had been the valedictorian of their high school, and the last time Jing-nan spoke to her she was enrolled in NYU's honor program, far away in New York. The facts don't add up. Julia's parents don't think so, either, and the police seem to have closed the case without asking any questions. The Huangs beg Jing-nan if he can do some investigating on his own—reconnect with old classmates, see if he can learn anything about Julia's life that she might have kept from them. Reluctantly, he agrees, for Julia's sake; but nothing can prepare him for what he learns, or how it will change his life.</p>Review<p><em>*Praise for </em><em><em>Ghost Month</em><em><br></em><br>"For a guy who scoffs at the ghosts revered by so many of his fellow Taiwanese, droll everyman Jing-nan, a night-market food stall manager, ironically finds himself spending much of his time chasing one as he investigates the murder of his childhood sweetheart, Julia Huang, in this darkly comic thriller from Lin."<br></em>—Publishers Weekly<em>, Starred Review</em>* </p><p>"A unique blend of tension, charm, tragedy and optimism, with characters you'll love, and a setting so real you'll think you've been there. Highly recommended."<br>—Lee Child </p><p>"Hold on for a breathtaking, multi-cultural ride. With some good luck and a few well-placed joss sticks, you just might survive."<br>—Martin Limón, author of *Nightmare Range* </p><p>Praise for Ed Lin </p><p>"Lin is an astonishing talent."<br>—Junot Díaz </p><p>"Lin's unsentimental, purely realist--not naturalist, not socialist, not postmodernist—novel raises hopes that American fiction may yet grow up."<br>—Booklist (Starred Review for <em>Waylaid</em>)<br><br>"Ed Lin is a new writer, but he has the eye and wit of a pro. Waylaid will make you laugh and cringe."<br>—<em>Playboy</em> (for <em>Waylaid</em>)<br><br>"Paints a convincing picture of Manhattan's Chinatown. Readers interested in the integration of Asian-Americans into American society, as well as those who like gritty procedurals, will be well rewarded."<br>—<em>Publishers Weekly</em> (Starred Review for <em>Snakes Can't Run</em>)</p>About the Author<p>Ed Lin is a journalist by training and an all-around stand-up kinda guy.
