Summary

Dick Moonlight is dead for real this time. Thanks to a trio of Obama-masked thugs in a dark downtown Albany alley, he#146;s purchased a one-way ticket to the Pearly Gates -- that is, until he feels his floating spirit painfully pulled back into his bruised but breathing body. And that#146;s when the real trouble starts.A private detective with a short-term memory problem due to a wayward self-inflicted slug, Moonlight knows he#146;s still in danger. Now he just needs to know why. And he#146;s got plenty of enemies to keep him guessing -- the Albany police, the local mob, even the latest love of his life, Lola, can#146;t be trusted. Only his Vietnam-vet best friend, Georgie, is on the level. But it seems the goons who tried to take him out have bigger fish to fry -- chiefly Moonlight#146;s latest client, Peter Czech, a handicapped nuclear engineer with a mysterious Russian heritage. Czech had something -- a box -- the gang believes is now in Moonlight#146;s possession, and they#146;re willing to get it any deadly way they can. Problem is, Moonlight doesn#146;t recall Czech giving him any box -- of course, that doesn#146;t mean he doesn#146;t have it. He just better figure out where it is before he winds up dead for the last time.The Cold War is heating up once again in Vincent Zandri#146;s latest thriller. Moonlight Rises is a fast-paced, whip-smart tale of a guy who can#146;t always remember getting into trouble -- and can#146;t seem to stay out of it.
