| "Barre is one terrific writer. His characters are alive, his settings so well-drawn you'll swear you've been there. And you'll want to read some of his sentences over and over, just for the sounds of the words." S J Rozan |
| "Burning Moon gives off its own unique light--stylish, rich and hopeful. Barre's latest Hardesty is a worthy successor." Don Winslow |

Shamus Award winner Barre (Bearing Secrets) has come up with a winner in this fifth installment of the adventures of L.A. private investigator Wil Hardesty. This time around, Wil is involved with Asian gangs. Off the California coast, a fishing boat disappears at sea in a sudden storm. The police rule it an accident, but a Vietnamese fisherman, father of the man lost at sea, is convinced that it was foul play. As Wil digs deeper, he must deal with murder, violence, and the customs and mores of a different ethnic culture. To solve this mystery, Wil relies on his experience and his past history as a Vietnam vet who also lost a son. Besides the action-filled plot, the reader can enjoy the full development of Wil as a character. One sometimes stops to reread and savor a sentence from a writer who can really write.
