Summary:
"When two of Uncle Chen's associates come visiting Chen Mansion on the third day of Chinese New Year -- an unlucky date in the Chinese calendar -- Su Lin doesn't let them in. Not just because of the taboo, but because her uncle has been unwell. But the bad luck has clearly followed them as one of them is soon discovered outside the house, dead, with a strip of dried
yellow
rambutan
peel in his mouth. And the other associate has gone missing. Could this have anything to do with the recent British ban on opium consumption? Singapore is only just adjusting to the return of British rule and the authorities suspect the dead man was killed for threatening to expose the Chens for processing and distributing the drug. And as Su Lin adjusts to the return of Le Froy to Singapore, being Parshanti's bridesmaid and figuring out why scraps of
yellow
rambutan
peel keep showing up around the mansion, she is forced to think about whether she has a future in the Chen family -- and in the new, post-Second World War Singapore..." -- Publisher.
