Edge of the Golden Moon - Ron Morris

'Morris understands that a certain kind of expat masculinity runs on hunger: for money, reinvention, escape, danger, self-importance, and, maybe most of all, the fantasy of being the one man in the room who really understands how the world works.' Independent Book Review

'[Bert Mars] transcends the page... fast-paced, engaging, and thought-provoking...' The US Review of Books

A betrayal...

A fabled symbol of power...

A long weekend...

A universe that works against you...

Too much alcohol...

A noir adventure in the bright shining sun of Southeast Asia

In Ron Morris's new adventure, everyman Bert Mars tries to unravel the mystery of his embezzled money, when he stumbles upon a hunt for an artifact that threatens revolution.

Bert Mars is beset by chronic ambition and an ability to talk himself into bending the rules. He is brought to the brink of ruin and revelation in a land where loyalties are only clear after it is too late.

The reader can easily find themselves identifying with the gray moral choices Mars must make. Anyone who has ever dared to break the rules will find themselves in this tale of hope, mystery, and sudden turns of fortune.
