Chinese Cooking for Diamond Thieves

<p>Driving home after being kicked out of college Tucker meets and picks up the mysterious Corinne Chang at a rest stop. Infatuated and with nothing better to do he ends up with her in St. Louis where he gets a job as a chef in a Chinese restaurant. Even though he's a <i>gwai lo</i>--a foreign devil--his cooking skills impress the Chinese patrons of the restaurant and his wooing skills impress Corinne when she joins him there as a waitress. But when Chinese gangsters show up demanding diamonds they believe Tucker's kind-of sort-of don't-call-her-a-girlfriend stole he and his friends--which luckily include a couple of FBI agents--have to figure out just who is gunning for Corinne and how to stop them. Good thing Tucker is a Mandarin-speaking martial arts master who isn't afraid to throw the first punch. </p><p>With its one-of-a-kind hero <i>Chinese Cooking for Diamond Thieves</i> is perfect for anyone who loves cooking Chinese culture bad jokes and young love. Diamonds are forever . . . unless Chinese mobsters decide they want them back.</p>
