For thirty years, the cries of dying men and the searing agony of guilt have haunted John Travers-all because he made a decision in a Vietnamese jungle that resulted in the deaths of nine good soldiers. Now, after suffering through decades of self-hatred and bitterness, Travers has finally come to the conclusion that life is good.
And then Philip Mackey shows up. Travers-the owner of a private investigation firm with his business partner, Wally Karpinski-does not know much about Mackey except that he was a reasonably competent soldier who once saved his life. But it is not long before Mackey's appearance and his revelations force Travers to confront his demons and question long-held truths. With the help of Karpinski and an eclectic group of associates, Travers embarks on a journey into the past where he must delve into humanity at its worst.
In this fast-paced thriller, the excruciating consequences of war erupt after thirty years, bringing violence, vengeance, and redemption to a Vietnam vet who must fight through the pain in order to find the inner peace he so desperately needs.
