CHINA TRADE by S. J. Rozan

PBK/MYS
ROZAN
Young New York PI Lydia Chin is hired by the China Pride Museum to find their stolen porcelains, despite the wishes of her brother Tim..Lydia's unladylike job is a source of embarrassment to her family. Tim has no idea that Lydia will be interviewing the heads of two rival Chinese gangs, and he thinks her failure to solve the case will mean a loss of face for him. The reader will enjoy not only Lydia's neat solution, but also her guts in pursuing it. Most will also find glimpses of Chinese culture fascinating. Romantic tension between Lydia and her fellow PI Bill Smith adds a little extra sizzle to the story, the first in a very good series.
