From the critically acclaimed, award-winning S. J. Rozan comes her finest novel to date-an explosive novel about the corrosive power of secrets and corruption in a small town.

In the middle of the night, private investigator Bill Smith is awakened by a call from the NYPD. They're holding fifteen-year-old named Gary-Bill's nephew. But before Bill can find out what is going on, Gary escapes custody into the dark night and unfamiliar streets. Bill, with the help of his partner Lydia Chin, tries to find the missing teen and uncover what it is that led him so far from home. Tracking Gary's family to a small town in New Jersey, Bill finds himself in a town where nothing matters but high school football, where the secrets of the past-both the town's and Bill's own-threaten to destroy the present. And if Bill is to have any chance of saving Gary and preventing a tragedy, he has to both unravel a long buried crime and confront the darkness of his own past.

How eerily like reality. ( )

Excellent!

This was one of the best books I've read in a while. Full of tension, suspense, and 3D like characters. ( )

WINTER AND NIGHT (2005) is my second Bill Smith / Lydia Chin novel. My first was Rozan's 2009 entry in this series, THE SHANGHAI MOON, a vast story covering at least 7 decades and three continents. In comparison, WINTER AND NIGHT was small, focused on a small town and on Bill Smith's childhood and upbringing. I found WINTER AND NIGHT to be much less captivating, and often wished it had been a shorter novel. Had it been my first book in this series I would've stopped there. But I will continue, reading at least one more before making a judgment on Rozan's series. ( )

It seems to me that a series writer has a tougher time winning awards that a writer of stand-alone novels, and not just in the mystery field -- just look at how Laura Ingalls Wilder never won a Newbery, and Beverly Cleary had to wait for hers until she wrote a stand-alone "problem novel." Since I greatly enjoy watching characters develop through a series, I'm always disappointed when a favorite is nominated but doesn't get the final prize.

I picked up [b:Winter and Night at a used book sale some time ago and left it on the shelf until I reached it in the progression of Edgar Best Novel winners. Normally I like to begin at the beginning of a series but for this reading project I decided to go in "cold" if the author was new to me.

First, Winter and Night was certainly deserving of the 2003 Edgar Best Novel award. Oddly, (and I gather the judges change regularly so this may be the reason), three of the four nominees who were runners-up were also series entries, which is somewhat unusual. I enjoyed the two I've read, and I would have had a hard time choosing between Manda Scott's No Good Deed and the winner, but I would find it hard to quibble with the judges' choice in this case.

Rozan set herself a difficult task in this book. She artfully mingles "ripped-from-the-headlines" topics (to tell what they are would introduce too many spoilers), a decades-old case whose resolution is in doubt, one of the most complicated revenge stories I've ever encountered, and a major revelation by one of her protagonists, private investigator Bill Smith, about his past. I was riveted from beginning to end. The secondary characters are well-drawn and nuanced even when they at first seem to be stereotypes. And of course, the relationship -- whatever it is! -- between Bill and his younger partner, Lydia Chin, is intriguing. I will definitely need to read the remainder of the series and hope it continues for a long time. Highly recommended. ( )

Enjoyed this book about the lengths a town will go to in covering up for their football jocks. Also how events from the past and future merge with diaster looming. Love the Smith and Chen novels. ( )
