Ghost hero : a Lydia Chin/Bill Smith novel / S.J. Rozan.
American-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.
