"One of Moore's greatest strengths... is his knowledge of Southeast Asian history." Newsweek


Saint Anne : Christopher G. Moore

His Lordship's Arsenal

Matthew Burlock is a brilliant, eccentric judge, faces with the facts of a bizarre ritual murder. In the run-down Delrose Hotel, two men are found half-eaten by flames: one tied to a cross, the other tied up on the bed, with African lioness masks laid next to him. The police say it is a homosexual murder, but Burlock disagrees.

A strange connection between Burlock's exotic past and the murder is revealed. Somewhere in the family history of the international gun trade, his father's mysterious identity and his radical ex-girlfriend lies the answer to the bizarre puzzle.

Heaven Lake Press (1999), 213 pp.; Earlier editions - Freundlich Books (1985) and Critic's Choice (1988)

 

"Unique... a probing psychological study of man's search for identity... genuinely fascinating."

-- Bestsellers

"A quizzical tale of betrayal in South Africa and Europe... very smooth and occasionally funny.... Moore is without doubt a real writer and one to watch."

-- Publisher's Weekly

"One at a time Burlock brings out transparent pictures of his life, then, appallingly, he twists them around, changes the order. When he is done we know more of the impermanence of vision and the changeable rules of life... imaginative."

-- Library Journal

"This is a complex, moody, rewarding novel."

-- Chicago Sun Times

"Unquestionably, Christopher Moore can write. He has an easy, elegant style with plenty of wit and pinache."

-- The Toronto Globe and Mai

"Moore is a marvellous and intentive writer who is able to combine literary merit with good old genre fiction. This is a unique and beautiful and beautifully written book."

-- Georgia Straight
