"A. Hardy Roper, Bad Moon Rising is his best story yet!"
If you have read A. Hardy Roper's three previous thrillers set on Galveston Island, then you know Parker McLeod. The easy-going owner of The Garhole Bar, Parker is at his best with a cold beer in his hand and a beautiful woman at his side. While he never goes out looking for danger, somehow it seems to find him. Bad Moon Rising, Hardy's latest book about this enigmatic but likable character is no exception. Parker's beloved grandfather had used the phrase "bad moon rising" as a warning when a dangerous storm appeared on the horizon. Parker now claims ownership of the expression as the "bad moon" of terrorism comes to the island.
Characters in this fast-paced novel are exquisitely drawn: A beautiful scientist from Germany who is the new Assistant Director of the Gulf Coast Level 4 Biological Lab; the Secretary of Homeland Security, in Galveston for a routine inspection; Islamic terrorists intent on revenge against the Secretary; and Parker--a former Army Intel officer with a personal vendetta against one of the terrorists. Add the FBI, NSA, CIA, Secret Service and local police and the intensity ratchets up with every page. The terrorists will use any means available including kidnapping, coercion and threats, to kill the Secretary. When the first attempt fails, the terrorists devise a scheme to use a deadly pathogen. During a raging winter storm, Parker must race through flooded streets and dark alleyways to try and prevent a cataclysmic event for the usually sun-filled city of Galveston. If you like thrillers, Bad Moon Rising is a must read!
Roper, A. Hardy: - As a fourth generation Texan and Galveston resident, A. Hardy Roper writes from a wealth of knowledge about the island's storied past and vibrant present. Mr. Roper's great grandparents arrived from Germany in the 1852 and entered through the Port of Galveston, at the time, second only to New York for immigrant destination. Today's Galveston is an eclectic mixture of 'old money' and Victorian mansions checkered among indigent neighborhoods of African Americans and Hispanics, all weaved tightly together, as if huddled against the onslaught of the next storm like the epic 1900 hurricane that claimed 6,000 lives. From its 19th Century past of pirates and buried treasures, to its 20th Century lifestyle of bootlegging, bawdy houses and gambling, Galveston Island offers an endless setting for mystery and intrigue. A. Hardy Roper has studied its culture and its history. His Parker McLeod thrillers weave an intricate path of deceit and mayhem as the city struggles to balance its colorful past with the inevitable collision of sleepy 'island life' and the hurried weekend rush as the playground of Houston's wealthy baby-boomers.
