Search - Finding Moon

First time I've read a book bo Tony Hillerman and I enjoyed this. Was a good mystery/adventure story of trying to find his brother's daughter in Southeast Asia during the end of the Vietnam war.

Caveat:
This isn't one of the Navajo Tribal Police series with Leaphorn and Chee! I didn't know that when I picked it up in a garage sale, since the title would fit right in. Interesting departure from TONY HILLERMAN'S usual - his "introductory page begins, "To my fellow desert rats, my apologies for wandering away from our beloved Canyon Country." This book appears to draw for background loosely on Hillerman's own experiences in Vietnam with "C Company, 410th Infantry."

Tony Hillerman usually writes about the Southwestern Unites States and the Navahoes and others who live there. This book involves Southeast Asia and it is an excellent read. He writes about the indigenous people who inhabit various countries with sensitivity to their culture and what events history has changed or influenced their lives.
