Ghost Month by Ed Lin

August is Ghost Month in Taiwan. It's a time to commemorate the dead and visit shrines. Jing-nan, a young man who runs a food stand in a Taipei night market, doesn't consider himself suspicious. But when he learns that his ex-girlfriend Julia has been murdered, he can't help but be spooked. She was found scantily clad and shot on the side of the road, where she'd been selling betel nuts to truck drivers. Jing-nan is confused - betel nut beauties are usually women in desperate circumstances, but Julia had done well at school and was living in NYC, why was she here?

Ed Lin is the only author to win the Asian American Literary Member's Choice Award twice, for his novels Waylaid and This Is a Bust. He lives in New York City and was named an Editor's Choice and Top Ten First Novel by Booklist for his novel Waylaid.
