Background

The book follows eight others in a series of eleven novels and six novellas by Rozan. The main characters, PIs Lydia Chin and her "sometimes-partner-in-crime-fighting" Bill Smith had been estranged since the previous novel, and Lydia had just returned from a trip to California.

Plot

Another PI friend of Lydia's, Joel Pillarsky, hired her to help him find a number of antique gems, including potentially a brooch, the Shanghai Moon, which has become the stuff of legend. When Lydia finds this out, however, there has been a murder, she is fired from the case, and Bill Smith reappears, claiming to have heard of the gem while in the Navy.
