Days of Feasting and Rejoicing
David Bergen
Identities blur and moral compasses waver in the murky atmosphere of the expat community in Thailand, in this tense and unexpectedly violent literary crime thriller. Esther Maile, after witnessing the drowning of her friend Christine in Bali, takes on Christine’s life, confusing Christine’s friends and family and most of all local Thai police captain Net Wantok, who is investigating not only Christine’s death, but also further disappearances.

Out of Mind
David Bergen
Lucille Black, first introduced to readers in The Matter with Morris, is at loose ends, travelling first to Thailand, to try to convince her daughter to leave the charismatic Shane and his “group,” and then to the south of France for the wedding of a former love. Bergen’s characteristic precision and insight bring Lucille to life in all her complexity and vulnerability.
