Autorenporträt

Peter Chin was born on the outskirts of Hong Kong in 1959 and immigrated to New York City with his mother and sisters in 1967. Changing his name from Chin Chit Chuey to Peter Chin, he became a member of Chinatown's Ghost Shadows gang in the 1970s and '80s, where he rose to the highest ranks of organized crime. His never-before-told story is the subject of In the Ghost Shadows. Everett De Morier is the award-winning author of three nonfiction books and the novel Thirty-Three Cecils, which won the top fiction prize at the London Book Festival, is required high school and college reading, and is being adapted as a feature film. In the Ghost Shadows, co-written with Peter Chin, is his first true-crime memoir.
