Ghost Hero (Bill Smith & Lydia Chin)

Ghost Hero (Bill Smith & Lydia Chin)

"Rozan again proves that the private detective novel thrives in the 21st century." -- Oline Cogdill, The Sun-Sentinel on On the Line

American-Born Chinese PI Lydia ChinÂ is called in on whatÂ appears to be aÂ simple case. Â Jeff Dunbar, art world insider, wants her to track down a rumor.Â Contemporary Chinese painting is sizzling hot on the art scene and no one is hotter than Chau Chun, known as the Ghost Hero. Â A talented and celebrated ink painter, Chau's highly-prized work mixes classical forms and modern political commentary.Â The rumor of new paintings by Chau is shaking up the art world. Â Thereâ€™s only one problem â€“ Ghost Hero Chau has been dead for twenty years, killed in the 1989 Tianamen Square uprising.
But not only is Ghost Hero Chau long dead, but Lydiaâ€™s client isn'tÂ who he claims to be either. And sheâ€™s not the only PI hired to look for these paintings.Â Lydia and her partner, Bill Smith, soon learn that someone else â€“ Jack Lee: PI, art expert, and, like Lydia, American Born ChineseÂ â€“ is also on the case.Â Â What starts as rumors over new paintings by a dead artist quickly becomes something farÂ more desperateÂ â€“ a high-stakesÂ crisis the PI's will find themselves risking everything to resolve.
