The Snakehead : An Epic Tale of the Chinatown Underworld and the American Dream
Radden Keefe, Patrick
’Reads like a mashup of The Godfather and Chinatown, complete with gun
battles, a ruthless kingpin and a mountain of cash. Except that it’s all
true.’ TimeIn this thrilling panorama of real-life events, the
bestselling author of Empire of Pain investigates a secret world run by a
surprising criminal: a charismatic middle-aged grandmother, who from a
tiny noodle shop in New York’s Chinatown, managed a multimillion-dollar
business smuggling people. In The Snakehead, Patrick Radden Keefe
reveals the inner workings of Cheng Chui Ping aka Sister Ping’s complex
empire and recounts the decade-long FBI investigation that eventually
brought her down.
He follows an often incompetent and sometimes
corrupt INS as it pursues desperate immigrants risking everything to
come to America, and along the way he paints a stunning portrait of a
generation of undocumented immigrants and the intricate underground
economy that sustains and exploits them. Grand in scope yet propulsive
in narrative force, The Snakehead is both a kaleidoscopic crime story
and a brilliant exploration of the ironies of immigration in America.
