TROPHY CHASE
All the world loves a chase. And what better than a Trophy Chase? Especially when contestants are attempting to locate the largest sports trophy ever created. It is a thing of beauty and created by a famed Russian jewelry house. Indeed, all the world loves a chase when there are millions involved.
This is Burr's second novel, and the stage moves from Washington D.C. to California. His knowledge of Bakersfield, the center of this novel, derives from a grandmother whose family helped found the city, and his own work as a youth in the Arvin grape growing region located south of the city.
Future works from Burr are set in Paraguay, the Belgian Congo, India, Burma, China, Egypt, Alta California ... in sum; with a doctorate in Political Geography, the world is his playground.

"A lively, detailed, and informative study that focuses on the influence of neighboring states on Chad's long civil war." - Review of Africa's Thirty Years' War (1999) Reviewed by Gail M. Gerhart.

"[T]his is indeed the prehistory of Darfur's tragedy, and it is essential, if difficult, reading for any serious student of the crisis." - Alex de Waal, 2008 review of The long road to disaster (2006).
