The yellow silk Book

Though I enjoyed reading this book, I feel somehow lessened by admitting it. It reads a bit like a Jackie Chan knockoff movie, and I suppose fulfills some guilty pleasure of action adventure while not being particularly grand. The heroes are underdogs you can identify with, the women are vaguely important bit parts and window dressing, and the bad guy is interesting until he's actually revealed.

As a Forgotten Realms book, the city it's based in is well flushed and gives a good description of one of the seedier and less explored areas.
