Reseña del libro "A Major Production! A Barney Moon, P. I. Mystery Thriller (en Inglés)"
“Mystery-thriller author Thomas B. Sawyer just can’t seem to keep a leash on his Manhattan P.I., Barney Moon. In this latest, hilarious installment of the Moon Series, A MAJOR PRODUCTION!, Moon finds himself back in Los Angeles and forced to take another whack at the whackos in one breakneck case of WEBIT? after another—Where Else But in Tinseltown? This is classic Sawyer suspense, dialogue, humor, and cinematic prose. With A MAJOR PRODUCTION!, Sawyer takes his rightful place among the master-of-suspense giants.” —Andrew McAleer, author of the 101 Habits of Highly Successful Novelists and co-editor of Coast to Coast: Private Eyes from Sea to Shining SeaManhattan P.I.
