About the Author:
Harker Moore lives in St. Francisville, LA.
From Booklist:
*Starred Review* Real-life serial killers may still exert a ghoulish fascination on the modern psyche, but their fictional counterparts have become a genre cliche. It takes a talented writer with a genuinely fresh approach to overcome the plot-by-the-numbers sameness of most serial-killer thrillers. Fortunately, first-novelist Moore displays both the requisite talent and freshness in this gripping story of a Japanese American homicide detective tracking a killer who sews swan's wings onto the shoulders of his victims, displaying them as if they were fallen angels. Juxtaposing Lieutenant James Sakura's investigation of the murders with glimpses of his marriage to Hanae, a blind woman whom he met in Japan, Moore effectively contrasts the serenity of Sakura's home life with the horror of the crimes he investigates. And, yet, it is not as simple as that. Turbulence roils beneath the domestic serenity, and the crimes mask a tortured killer's psychotic attempt to achieve an addled version of peace. Moore brings a remarkably multitextured depth to his characters--to Sakura, his wife, and the killer as well as to a wide range of supporting figures. The crime is solved, but the human drama remains shrouded in ambiguity. Not only does this outstanding novel breathe new life into the serial-killer subgenre but it also leaves the door open to what could become a truly original, psychologically rich series in which the multicultural framework is far more than window dressing.
