No Colder Place: A Bill Smith/Lydia Chin Novel by Rozan, S. J.. Mass Market Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780312966645.

Bill Smith is going undercover again as a favor to an old friend who wants him to investigate thievery on the 40-story Manhattan site of Crowell Constructions latest project. His bricklaying is a little rusty, but passable as he checks out the foreman whos under suspicion. A crane operator has disappeared--along with some heavy machinery. But when a well-orchestrated riot causes the foremans "accidental" death, Smith plunges into a morass of bribery, blackmail and blood looking 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. S.J. Rozan won the 1998 Anthony Award for No Colder Place.
