Críticas:

"Crude Carrier is a solid mystery. And like Burns' previous mystery, Body Slam, he gives readers something more. In this case, it's the world of international oil shipping. This is Burns at his best." -The Denver Post "Burns succeeds in making life aboard a huge oil tanker both fascinating and scary." -Publishers Weekly "A skillful and sensitive writer." -The New York Times Book Review "Among the best fictional police writers . . . [Burns] avoids cliches and provides us with good, intense narrative . . . within a truthful framework." -National Centurion: A Police Lifestyle Magazine "One of our best writers of mysteries." -The Boston Globe "Burns, the author of a detective series starring Denver cop Gabe Wager, brings an understated style and attention to background detail to this satisfying mystery." -Booklist

Reseña del editor:

The father-daughter team of Jim and Julie Raiford, first introduced in Body Slam, returns to investigate the international oil industry in this gripping mystery by Edgar Award winner Rex Burns. 

The Rossi family received only a handful of letters after their son shipped out on the supertanker Aurora Victorious. The first dispatches were from Harold himself, describing the blend of tedium and excitement that defined life onboard the ship. The last communication came from the ship’s owners: four brief sentences informing them that their son had died and been buried at sea. Desperate to know more, the Rossis turn to James and Julie Raiford, the father-daughter detective team behind the Touchstone Agency. As the Raifords soon learn, work on the open sea is dangerous—and asking questions can be deadly.
 
When the shipping company stonewalls the investigation, James joins the Aurora Victorious as an electronics officer, and Julie digs into the proprietors’ shadowy background. International oil shipping is a ruthless business, and its secrets run as deep as the ocean itself.
