"Rozan again proves that the private detective novel thrives in the 21st century." -- Oline Cogdill, The Sun-Sentinel on On the LineAmerican-Born Chinese PI Lydia Chin is called in on what appears to be a simple case. Jeff Dunbar, art world insider, wants her to track down a rumor. Contemporary Chinese painting is sizzling hot on the art scene and no one is hotter than Chau Chun, known as the Ghost Hero. A talented and celebrated ink painter, Chau's highly-prized work mixes classical forms and modern political commentary. The rumor of new paintings by Chau is shaking up the art world. There�s only one problem � 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 Lydia�s client isn't who he claims to be either. And she�s not the only PI hired to look for these paintings. Lydia and her partner, Bill Smith, soon learn that someone else � Jack Lee: PI, art expert, and, like Lydia, American Born Chinese � is also on the case. What starts as rumors over new paintings by a dead artist quickly becomes something far more desperate � a high-stakes crisis the PI's will find themselves risking everything to resolve.
