Synopsis

Lydia Chin and Bill Smith have been hired by one of the most respected figures in New York City's Chinatown, for what appears to be a simple task - deliver a family heirloom to the young grandson of the recently deceased business colleague of Grandfather Gao. Before they can deliver the heirloom, the grandson is kidnapped and two separate ransom demands are made. While the family of the kidnapped boy tries to freeze them out, Lydia and Bill must quickly learn their way around a city where the rules are different, the stakes are high, and the cost of failure is too dire to imagine. Note: this title is originally published as "Reflecting the Sky" in the US.

From the Back Cover

It was supposed to be a simple case...



Grandfather Gao is one of the most respected - some would say feared - men in China Town. When he asks for a favour, refusal is not an option. Which is how Lydia Chin and Bill Smith find themselves heading to Hong Kong to deliver the ashes of his oldest friend to his grandson.



On arrival in the city, they find that the young boy and his nanny have been kidnapped. And, far from wanting the two detectives to help, the family close ranks. But then two separate ransom demands arrive...



Bill Smith and Lydia Chin: two detectives, one partnership, crime writing at its best...
