Summary:
Joining the company of Sue Grafton, Jonathan Kellerman, and Patricia
Cornwell, Shamus Award-winner S.J. Rozan now owns a coveted Anthony
Award for Best Novel for her No Colder Place. The Washington Post has
called her Bill Smith/Lydia Chin novels ¿a series to watch for.¿
Booklist deemed Rozan ¿a major figure in contemporary mystery
fiction.¿ Now it's your turn-- to discover one of fiction's major
voices and to fall in love with a mystery of evocative atmosphere,
engaging characters, and exquisite writing. It's Lydia Chin's turn to
go underground as the Chinese-American P.I. investigates a case that
strikes at the heart of Chinatown's dangerously shifting power
structure. Four restaurant workers, including a union organizer, have
disappeared, and the union's lawyer hires Lydia to find them. But
when a bomb shatters the Chinese Restaurant Workers' Union
headquarters, killing one of the missing men and injuring the lawyer,
Lydia is summoned by the prime suspect, one of Chinatown's most
powerful men, to continue the search--on his payroll. With backup
from her partner Bill Smith, Lydia goes undercover as a dim sum
waitress, slinging steamed dumplings while dodging a lethal conflict
between the old and the new orders, and searching for the missing
waiters and their deadly secret--before someone serves them their
last supper¿
