In this gritty, gut-wrenching sequel to Loose Ends and Above Ground, Jack Taggart continues as an undercover Mountie whose quest for justice takes him from the sunny, tourist-laden beaches of Cuba to the ghettos of Hanoi. His targets deal in human flesh, smuggling unwitting victims for the sex trade. It is a story fraught with raw human emotion, and characters so real that they could not be figments of someones imagination.
Jack's personal vendetta for justice is questioned by his partner, until he reveals the secret behind his motivation, exposing the very essence of his soul.
This is the world of the undercover operative: a world of lies, treachery, and deception. A world where violence erupts without warning, like a ticking time bomb on a crowded bus. It isn't a matter of if that bomb will go off -- it is a matter of how close you are to it when it does.
The third Jack Taggert book is probably the darkest, sine Easton delves into his own family's past and further blurs the line between author and character. Again let me state: one of the coolest Canadians ever.

... a powerful and passionate novel.
Shelf Life
There is a terrible urgency to Angel in the Full Moon, not only in the plotted pursuit of some very bad guys, the tortures endured by a little girl, and the gleeful plans of a psychopath, but in the desperately furious writing itself.
