The Shanghai Moon (Lydia Chin and Bill Smith Series #9) » (First Edition)

S.J. ROZAN was born and raised in the Bronx and is a long-time Manhattan resident. An architect for many years, she is now a full-time writer. Her critically acclaimed, award-winning novels and stories have won most of crime fiction's greatest honors, including the Edgar, Anthony, Shamus, Macavity and the Nero Award.

The return of Rozan's beloved, award-winning series - a long-missing piece of jewelry, the Shanghai Moon, has possibly resurfaced, leading Lydia Chin into the midst of a long-buried crime and a current murder.

If Lydia and Bill's dance of attraction/distraction is a staple of this series, so are Rozan's exquisitely crafted plots…The Shanghai Moon is a standout in this series in terms of narrative sweep and the lush aura of romance…there's plenty of possibility lurking in the old missing-gems plot. It just takes a master like S.J. Rozan to restore the luster of a classic.
