PRAISE FOR NO. 10 DOYERS STREET

"Radha Vatsal has crafted a crackerjack mystery set in early-1900s New York City. Trailblazing journalist Archana Morley has both the strength and sensitivity to cut to the truth in this fast-paced tale that illuminates the history of Asian immigrants in Chinatown." - Sujata Massey, internationally bestselling author of The Widows of Malabar Hill

"Vatsal's skill as not only a historian, but a crafter of gripping and character-driven mysteries, are in full effect in the pages of No. 10 Doyers Street - as readers are guided through the streets of a lost New York from the perspective of an Indian journalist embroiled in a real-world underworld caper. Pitch perfectly accurate and enthralling, I was rapt until the last page." - Alex Segura, bestselling and acclaimed author of Secret Identity and Alter Ego

"New York City history buffs rejoice! Radha Vatsal has wonderfully captured 1900s Chinatown, breathing life into the complicated character of gangster Mock Duck, who ruled blood-soaked Doyers Street. Gentrification, mixed-race identity and discrimination against immigrants are all evergreen issues that come to light through Vatsal's protagonist, a South Asian female journalist. No. 10 Doyers Street reflects a new stage of reality-based fiction-a pan-Asian exploration of American history." - Naomi Hirahara, Edgar and Mary Higgins Clark award-winning author of the Mas Arai mysteries and the best-selling Japantown mysteries

"Gripping and vibrantly original. Radha Vatsal has a gift for unearthing those seemingly small moments that change the course of history. Both a brilliant tale of the plot to destroy New York City's Chinatown and a heartbreaking courtroom drama, No. 10 Doyers Street is a fresh, unforgettable look at 1900s New York." - Mariah Fredericks, author of The Wharton Plot

"Radha Vatsal's riveting story of early 1900s Chinatown will pin you to your seat. Her deft writing has rendered legendary gangster Mock Duck an empathetic character. Vatsal's intrepid journalist narrator uses wit and pen to stride through prejudice and red tape, and pulls along the reader to find what we're all looking for: The truth." - Ed Lin, author of Ghost Month and David Tung Can't Have a Girlfriend Until He Gets Into an Ivy League College
