This is a stand-alone novel from Tony Hillerman, set in Southeast Asia.
A phone call in 1975 changes Moon Mathias’s life forever, as a voice on the line tells him his dead brother’s baby daughter—a child Moon never knew existed—is waiting for him in Southeast Asia. A task he believes beyond his meager talents is pulling Moon to Vietnam.
In a chilling world of mystery and silence, disguise and deception, he will risk everything for the sake of one little girl—and discover a Moon Mathias who is a better man than he ever thought he could be.

“Moon fights time, political exigencies, and his ignorance of his brother’s life as he tries doggedly to locate his niece. The effort involves an appealing cast, including a wealthy Chinese man seeking his ancestors’ bones, a Dutch woman searching for her missionary brother, and Vietnamese refugees…Hillerman’s mastery of setting and his compassionate, patient characterization are fully present in this tale.”
