Monsoon Moon
They were the best of times, but like all good things they came to an abrupt end.
Now the reformed ex-cop makes do with his rare book shop and ex-hooker fiancé. Things couldn’t be more kosher, but everything changes when a crooked detective, a recently released convict, and a nefarious parole officer show up looking for the memoir of a deranged Dutchman who raped and murdered his way across Indochina in the ‘50s.
It’s called Monsoon Moon, and nobody’s sure if it’s real or just another urban legend - until Winston tracks down a copy halfway around the world.
The firsthand accounts of what the sadistic traveler did to young Cambodian and Vietnamese girls are the stuff of nightmares. And now young women of Southeast Asian descent are disappearing and turning up dead on Charm City’s mean streets, and the killer’s MO matches the Dutchman’s.
With a copycat on the loose, it’s a race against time to save a special Cambodian-American girl with big plans for the future.
