ReviewsPraise for Incensed "Ed Lin's Incensed is a stylish, smart thriller for the mind, heart, and gut. Sex, music, history, politics, food, humor, and just a touch of violence and death--you get it all. And when you're done, you'll beg for more." --Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer "The second entry in Lin's "Taipei Night Market" series is an exciting mystery with an intriguing hero and cast of characters who will appeal to readers who like international settings in their crime fiction. Mystery fans enchanted by the Asian night markets visited on numerous Travel Channel shows will enjoy a peek behind the curtain, as Taiwan's history and culture are lightly explored in this story that moves fluidly along to its conclusion." -- Library Journal "A richly detailed insider's tour of contemporary Taiwan." --Kirkus Reviews "Readers will be as caught up in Lin's rich descriptions of Taiwan's sights, sounds, and mouthwatering foods as they are in his intriguing characters." --Publishers Weekly "Ed Lin's Incensed is his best book ever--and this is the guy who wrote Ghost Month . Its world is so vivid and alive that when you're finished you'll remember it as though you spent a month there." --Timothy Hallinan, author of King Maybe Praise for Ghost Month "A unique blend of tension, charm, tragedy and optimism, with characters you'll love, and a setting so real you'll think you've been there. Highly recommended." --Lee Child "A sidewalk noodle shop in Taipei's Shilin Night Market during summer's Ghost Month is the vivid backdrop for Ed Lin's Ghost Month . . . The plot twists come fast and furious as the story reaches its climax. Come for the exotic food and fascinating setting; stay for the characters." -- The Boston Globe "Covers Taiwan's complicated political identity and relationship with mainland China, all during one of the most remarkable times of the year: Ghost Month." -- To the Best of Our Knowledge "This is pure and perfect suspense and a book that is almost impossible to put down." -- Crimespree Magazine From the Hardcover edition.
