Having taken to the lifestyle of a middle-aged civilian, the
last thing Paul Brenner wanted to do was return to work for the
Army''s Criminal Investigation Division, the agency that thanked him
for years of life-risking service by forcing him into early
retirement. But when an old friend calls in a career''s worth of
favours, Paul finds himself moonlighting for the Army as he
investigates a puzzling murder that took place thirty years before
in the midst of the Vietnam war. Forced to return to the country
that haunts him and work for the people who cast him aside, Paul
must engage in the battle of his life as he attempts to find
justice in a world of staggering corruption.
