Description
In Hidden Moon, Inspector O returns from a mission abroad to find his new police commander waiting at his office door. There has been a bank robbery in Pyongyang, and the commander demands quick action. However, someone in the North Korean leadership seems to be obstructing Inspector O's investigation. As he delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of conspiracies that lead to unexpected places. James Church's spare and starkly beautiful descriptions of North Korea and its people, along with the lean dialogue, create a captivating noir backdrop for this intriguing mystery. The book's sharp repartee and duplicitous plot twists make it a compelling read, shedding light on a society where nothing is as it seems. Sorry! Book description for this title is not available.
