Elijah Moon, his sons, his beautiful daughter Gracie and their families are trying to dwell simply in this modern world.

In fact, a man has been killed for knowing too much. When the victim's twin, Jake Baretta, arrives at the compound to search for his twin's killer, he struggles to keep his heart and attraction to Gracie to himself, and his mind on the job. Everyone knows the first rule of undercover work: Never fall in love with enemy.

Determined to find the man who shot his twin brother and left him to die, Jake Baretta travels to the New Zion compound in rural Kentucky, where his brother had been working undercover--and where Jake must now work undercover to reveal a killer. One of the sons of New Zion's leader, Elijah Moon, is guilty of murder. But which one? Gracie Moon, Elijah's only daughter, adores her father, but she can't shake the feeling that undercurrents of trouble are roiling beneath the surface at the compound. Nor can Gracie ignore or deny the growing passion between herself and Jake. While Jake works to discover his brother's murderer and expose the crime beneath New Zion's calm, he finds himself falling in love with Gracie. What neither Jake nor Gracie can know is that his cover is about to be blown and when it is, the men involved in gunrunning, prostitution, and subversive activities will threaten both their lives. Chase the Moon has enough twists and turns to baffle the best sleuths and enough depth of emotion to satisfy the most demanding of romance fans. --Lois Faye Dyer --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

From Library Journal

When Jake Baretta's twin brother, John, ends up murdered while undercover, investigating a suspicious "religious" community in rural Kentucky, Jake vows vengeance and heads for Kentucky to take his brother's place. He expects his "return" to precipitate violence and danger?even death; he does not expect it to produce love and eventual healing. While the story has depressingly contemporary relevance, this is a compelling story of treachery, insanity, and retribution that will involve readers emotionally. McCall (Tallchief, Harper, 1997) also writes under her real name, Sharon Sala, and has a knack for creating empathetic, larger-than-life characters. She lives in Oklahoma.

5.0 out of 5 stars consistently drawn characters; believable & intriguing, May 12, 1999

This review is from: Chase the Moon (Mass Market Paperback)

consistently drawn characterization with a grasp of some current law-enforcement problems. Mix this with sharply aware interpersonal interactions and enough realistic science and psychology, and one can see why this is a book not to be put down . This book joins my entire keeper shelf of Sharon Sala/Dinah McCall books, all of which are equally enthralling.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!, March 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chase the Moon (Mass Market Paperback)

This is one of the BEST books that I have ever read! I started to read Dinah McCall when I found out that she was also one of my Favorite authors, Sharon Sala.

Chase The Moon is about a man who out for the blood of the man who murdered his brother. Jake and John Baretta were identical twins, so once John was killed, Jake was able to take his place without the people knowing. (They were investigators in a huge weaon and drug bust).

This is one of the best books that I ever read and it is also one of the most moving!

This review is from: Chase the Moon (Mass Market Paperback)

This is absolutely the first review I have ever written so I'm afraid it's not going to be very well done. I have read hundreds of other reviews and they influence me very much in whether I purchase a book or not. I really don't know why this book has never left my mind completely, but it passes through my head ever so often. I guess it touched my heart in a special way. I love the books by Dinah McCall aka Sharon Sala, and have read many of them. If you purchase this book you will not be disappointed and I am sure it will stay in you heart as it has mine. It's been several years since I read it the first time. Enjoy!
