Vinh Tien is not convinced the disappearance at sea of his only son was the accident it was ruled. His son had fallen in with evil personified: a man who came to America the same time Vinh did, a Vietnamese boat person like himself…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor once at peace with his dead, Wil resists digging up the ghosts of those he fought and bled with in-country. But he is moved by Vinh Tien's hardship and loss. For Wil, too, has lost a son to the ocean…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat Wil discovers brings him into a shadowy world of Asian gangs--dragons that prey upon their own--contraband of the most insidious sort, corruption that reaches unexpected heights…played out against a background as exotic as the Vietnamese culture, as violent as the code of secrecy and prejudice that veils the truth Wil must find before a ghost-killer finds him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded in this edition are sample chapter from Lono Waiwaiole’s WILEY’S LAMENT, Trey R.

Burning Moon smolders with intensity. Don't miss it.\"  --G.M. Ford, author of Black River\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A new Richard Barre novel is reason to break out the champagne.

In short, one of the true blue masters of crime fictions.\"  --Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Barre is one terrific writer.
