1994019502NY: St Martins Press 1994. 1st edition. Fine in dust jacket. SIGNED COPY. Author's first book in award-winning mystery series introducing Lydia Chin and Bill Smith. " It's always exciting to read the first novel of a newcomer with a distinctive voice and the talent to put a new spin on an established genre. Such is the case with this page-turning mystery introducing Lydia Chin a Chinese American private investigator living in New York City's Chinatown. When the Chinatown Museum is robbed of a set of rare porcelains the chair of the board of directors calls in her friend Lydia despite the opposition of Lydia's brother Tim a board member embarrassed by his sister's occupation not suitable for a respectable Chinese woman and afraid that her failure to solve the crime will make him lose face. Working with her sometime partner Bill Smith Lydia finds a connection between the shadowy underworld of the tongs Chinese gangs and the black market in stolen art which leads in turn to violence and danger--definitely unsuitable surroundings in the eyes of Lydia's family."--Booklist.
