Mystery Historical
This dazzling first novel by a new voice in crime fiction
won the Debut Dagger Award from the Crime Writers'
Association of Great Britain.
Set in post-World War II Los Angeles, Clea's Moon
introduces a complex and fascinating character, John Ray
Horn. Horn is a former actor in B westerns who is now,
after serving prison time for assault, collecting debts
for his erstwhile American Indian sidekick. A call from an
old friend leads Horn to old secrets that involve his
former stepdaughter, Clea, who has recently disappeared.
When his friend dies under mysterious circumstances, Horn
is desperate to uncover the truth and to find Clea and
bring her home.
Reminiscent of early James Ellroy, Clea's Moon
explores Hollywood's dark margins at a time when Los
Angeles was growing by the day and the studio system was
losing its grip on the film industry. Edward Wright
brilliantly captures the period in this suspenseful and
richly atmospheric novel.
