No Colder Place

NO COLDER CRIME

Bill Smith goes undercover again as a favor to an old friend who wants him to investigate thievery on the 40-story Manhattan site of Crowell Construction's latest project. His bricklaying is a little rusty, but passable as he checks out the foreman who's under suspicion. A crane operator has disappeared--along with some heavy machinery. But when a well-orchestrated riot causes the foreman's "accidental" death, Smith plunges into a morass of bribery, blackmail, and blood as he looks for answers. With the help of his Chinese-American partner Lydia Chin, he follows a trail of twisted loyalties, old-fashioned greed, and organized crime to its heart-stopping conclusion. Murder--with no end in sight.

This is #4 in A Lydia Chin/Bill Smith Mystery.
