The latest Lydia Chin/Bill Smith mystery takes the
acclaimed detective duo into the Deep South to investigate a
murder within the Chinese community.
The
Most Southern Place on Earth: that's what they call the
Mississippi Delta. It's not a place Lydia Chin, an
American-born Chinese private detective from Chinatown, NYC,
ever thought she'd have reason to go. But when her mother
tells her a cousin Lydia didn't know she had is in jail in
Clarksdale, Mississippi—and that Lydia has to rush down
south and get him out—Lydia finds herself rolling down
Highway 61 with Bill Smith, her partner, behind the
wheel.
From the river levees to the refinement of
Oxford, from old cotton gins to new computer scams, Lydia
soon finds that nothing in Mississippi is as she expected it
to be. Including her cousin's legal troubles—or possibly
even his innocence. Can she uncover the truth in a place
more foreign to her than any she's ever seen?
