SIGNED hardcover first edition - A thriller by this award-winning novelist featuring Southern California surfer-turned-private eye, Wil Hardesty, who is hired by a Vietnamese refugee and fisherman, Vinh Tien who is sure that the disappearance at sea of his son, Jimmy wasn't accidental. One reviewer noted that "Burning Moon ignites slowly, as its underappreciated author outlines the cultural dynamics that are essential to this tale and reintroduces Hardesty. However, Barre's vivid but economical prose and strong character development eventually make this shine." SIGNED on the title page and dated in the year of publication. 348 pp. ISBN: 1-592660118.
