Chokehold — Wanda Iola

It's been a month since newlyweds Phoenix and Chen arrived in Chicago, and they're each having their own adjustment problems. Phoenix has fallen easily back into the friendly repartee she always had with the men in her father's squad room, but she seems embarrassed to show her affection for her new husband publicly. Is she ashamed of his past? Is Chen jealous of her male friends, particularly her best friend, Freddie Koy? Is she in danger of the recently downtown strangler because she's a woman working at night, or does it have a connection with Chen's Triad history? Meanwhile in China, the Hong Kong police force is cracking down on syndicate activities. Have they set in motion a gang war that will reach all the way to Chicago?
