Rasante Action, coole Sprüche und eine Prise Exotik: Der grillende Killer ist ein Hard-boiled-Thriller aus Taiwan, der mit originellem Setting und schwarzem Humor punktet. Ausgerechnet wenige Tage vor der verdienten Pensionierung muss Kommissar Wu aus Taipeh sich mit dem angeblichen Suizid eines Marine-Offiziers herumschlagen. Wu ist sofort klar, dass der Mann ermordet wurde, doch das Militär beharrt auf Selbstmord - auch, als kurz darauf im fernen Rom weitere Offiziere zu Tode kommen. Nach dem reibungslos erledigten Job in Rom freut sich der junge taiwanesische Scharfschütze Alex darauf, zu seinem Asia-Imbiss zurückzukehren.

Wie durch ein Wunder trägt Taiwans Präsident Hsu nur einen Kratzer davon, als er während einer Wahlkampf-Veranstaltung Opfer eines Scharfschützenangriffs wird. Die Beweislage ist allerdings verwirrend: Die gefundene Patronenhülse passt nicht zur Kugel, und der Schusswinkel erscheint unmöglich. Kommissar Wu, für den Fall extra aus dem Ruhestand geholt, berät sich im Geheimen mit seinem Freund, dem Scharfschützen Alex Li, der sich noch immer versteckt halten muss. Schnell ist Alex überzeugt, dass das Attentat fingiert war.

It's all downhill from there as Leo gets roped into an ugly battle between elderly ranchers and a ruthless developer who knows how to make a killing.

Detective Jack Yu returns in a pulse-pounding fifth investigation in New York's Chinatown - can he save an old gangster friend from a ruthless killer? Chinatown gang leader "Lucky" Louie was shot outside of a Chinatown off track betting establishment on the 13th of January and lay in a coma for 88 days, waking on Easter Sunday. The number 88 is a double-helix double-lucky Chinese number; religion and superstition all lean Lucky's way. But Detective Jack Yu, Lucky's boyhood blood brother, fears his friend's luck is about to run out.

His Fifth Precinct cases have taken him to West Coast Chinatowns and back, and along the way NYPD detective Jack Yu has processed a dozen dead bodies, been beaten by Triad thugs, been mauled by a pit bull, and been shot twice.

He's also killed two men. He is en route to an appointment with the department shrink when an Asian body turns up in the Harlem River. Quickly assigned to the case, Jack finds a corpse with no identification and faces questions as to how - and why - the dead man wound up in the water.
