About this Item

In a clear protective Brodart mylar cover. SIGNED by the author in addition to the author's signature 'snake' stamp on the title page. A hint of wear at top edge of dj, minor rubbing to front flap. Lydia Chin and her sometime partner Bill Smith return in a compelling mystery about stolen items and long-buried secrets. Bill Smith escapes once in a while to his refuge in his upstate New York cabin, away from the noise and people in New York City. All that changes when Eva Colgate, a neighbor in the upstate town, calls upon him for help. A local hoodlum is murdered and another local kid has gone missing. Lydia Chin joins Bill Smith as they try to piece together the events that have descended on the sleepy upstate town. S.J. Rozan has fashioned another gripping story of corruption, greed and murder featuring one of the most fascinating and memorable P.I. duos in quite some time.
