"I've loved Lydia Chin and Bill Smith for years." -- Val McDermid "This is a beautifully written book with a sophisticated plot, rich in both action and atmosphere ... this could well be Rozan's break-out book" Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A tremendously satisfying book" Chicago Tribune "A reader would be hard-pressed to find a more likable or more disparate duo than the middle-aged, rawboned, moody and sarcastic Smith and the 20-something, small, agile and quick-witted Chin" Los Angeles Times "As usual, it's a fast-paced, rip-roaring ride. Great characters, intricate plotting, and an exotic locale, beautifully described - Who could ask for anything more? This is definitely a don't-miss book in a don't miss series" Booklist (starred review)
