Finding Moon

Más información sobre el libro

Tony Hillerman's bestselling Navajo mysteries have captivated millions with their intricate plots, nuanced characters, and vivid landscapes. In this departure from his usual setting, Hillerman explores a story he's long wanted to tell about an ordinary man caught in chaos. Moon Mathias's life was predictable until a fateful call on April 12, 1975, revealed that his mother, expected to be in Florida, is fighting for her life in a Los Angeles hospital. She was en route to the Philippines to bring home an unknown grandchild. The contents of her purse plunge Moon into an unfamiliar world, leading him through the backstreets of Manila, a rural cockfight, an unusual prison on Palawan Island, and across the South China Sea into war-torn Cambodia. Along the way, he encounters a cast of intriguing characters, including Lum Lee, an elderly Chinese man with unclear motives, and Mrs. van Winjgaarden, a sophisticated art buyer with her own agenda. Only Nguyen, a warrior with "KILL COMMUNISTS" tattooed on his chest, seems straightforward. Ultimately, Moon's journey is not just about external adventure but also about discovering his true self amidst the turmoil. This narrative is an epic adventure, a romance, and a suspenseful tale that reveals how an uncertain man can find his best self.
