Four previously published detective Robert Lui novels in one volume:

The Chapel of Retribution - Robert Lui, a detective with the Vancouver Police Department, has left the Gang Taskforce to return to the duller but supposedly safer work of the Major Crimes Unit. Assigned to the benign west side of Vancouver, he didn't expect to be breaking up fights between developers or finding body parts in the ponds of local horticultural attractions. Nor did he expect to be entangled in a revenge drama playing itself out across the city's southside. Motives are hard to fathom, and victims have nothing in common, leaving Robert's small team perplexed. They are also learning to be wary if they ever scrape up enough money to enter the housing market. On the plus side, they are spending time in one of the nicer environments on offer in the city, even if circumstances might be deadly.

A Sin Offering - Violence between gang members makes daily headlines in Vancouver, but when Detective Robert Lui returns to the Vancouver Police Lower Mainland Gang Taskforce, the danger is more than he expected. Something from his father's past has awakened and threatens the lives of his parents and children. Robert must figure out what it is and how to stop it. Shadow actors in the police and government increase the danger and Robert is forced to work from the sidelines to protect his family. From Hong Kong to the village of Steveston, with a deadly road trip to rural Merritt, gang members and police try to outwit each other, with Robert struggling to come out alive.

Greenside - Detective Robert Lui's life has turned to mush. He's lost his job with the Vancouver Police Department and his girlfriend is tired of his endless self-pity. Fortunately, Robert lives in a city where politicians' ambitions vastly exceed their skillset. The resulting disasters result in his new employment as a private investigator, exploring the causes of problems with the Greenside project. His digging leads to startling discoveries about corruption in the city, a threat to his life, and a confrontation with gang members from his recent past. His survival depends on unexpected help.

The Girl from Raven Island - A police officer is murdered after a demonstration in Vancouver. Detective Robert Lui identifies suspects and travels to Raven Island, on BC's coast. He's looking for motive but finds danger. When more people are murdered, Robert realizes his assumptions about the case might be wrong, and he uses unorthodox methods to draw out an opponent. But his personal and professional mistakes are adding up.

Content Warning - These novels are thrillers and contains scenes of violence. Scenes include revenge killings, suicide, harm to a dog, and sexual exploitation of teenagers.
