"In this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers." -Herman Melville, Moby Dick The first book in the Karl Standt crime novel series, which includes Gone On Kauai and Compulsion. Barbarous Coasts is a tale of stratospheric thievery and corruption, set against a man's struggle for a clean conscience and the truth. It takes place in Manhattan's Midtown and other iconic NYC neighborhoods, as well as in Europe and the Middle East. In the novel, the seasoned NYPD detective Karl Standt forms an offbeat alliance with a talented, paroled hacker ("Church"). What ensues is a fast-moving, multilayered tableau depicting the sharp end of contemporary America. Barbarous Coasts is an engrossing tale of an honest man grappling with a far-flung case of financial chicanery and Banana Republic-style elitism.
