Written in jail, Under a Crescent Moon presents characters and situations as varied as life outside prison. Here the famous and infamous, Turk and foreigner, mass-murderer and petty crook rub shoulders and in some strange, if improbable way, get on. Readers expecting a book-of-the-film Midnight will be disappointed, for the author?s vision of a country, a jail and its inmates is both heartfelt and richly empathetic. In this, his first published work, Daniel de Souza experiences and transcends prison life - his voice is rich and original.
