Moonrise, Sunset

Autor Baratham
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 ian 1996
Hours after agreeing to marry How Kum Menon, Vanita Sundram is murdered while asleep in her fianc?'s arms. More killings follow, and the reluctant How Kum is soon embroiled in the police investigation, only to find himself dealing with an unlikely brigade of self-proclaimed `experts': his drunken Uncle Oscar with his underworld links, an American psycho-sexual profiler and his matronly psychic sidekick, and a Hindu holy-man, who plans to dissuade Vanita's soul from uniting with the Universal Spirit just long enough to reveal the identity of the murderer... A corrosive picture of contemporary Singapore, a hitherto placid economic miracle zone whose image conceals an older network of corruption and intrigue.

Recenzii

?Moonrise, Sunset is an appealing novel, its narrator an unwittingly ironic commentator on his environment and its occupants? Val McDermid ?Strong, controlled writing full of concrete images keeps the ethereal subject matter in check and carries the plot along with just the right amount of skepticism? Publishers Weekly ?Baratham, who lives in Singapore, brings the city alive, and armchair-travelling mystery fans will be fascinated by the tour? Booklist
