Former war correspondent Peter Brandt\u2019s childhood innocence died the day his older brother, Keith, died in Vietnam. Now, a quarter of a century later, Keith\u2019s former fianc\u00e9e, Rhonda White, comes back into Peter\u2019s life with an incredible claim\u2014Keith may still be alive.<\/p>\n
Twenty-four hours later, police find Rhonda\u2019s body floating in San Diego Bay. Is it murder or suicide?<\/p>\n
Rhonda\u2019s death and her claim about Peter\u2019s brother set him on an investigation ranging from the beaches and foothills of Southern California to the mountains of Costa Rica. The deeper he digs, the more mysteries he finds: Marines who fought alongside Keith don\u2019t remember how he died; a shady technology exporter bearing a doppelg\u00e4nger resemblance to T.D., Keith\u2019s best friend who also died in the same battle; a Navy investigator who covered up his probe of a major wartime black-market operation; and a Costa Rican cop who may be more than he seems.<\/p>\n
And then there are the big questions Peter isn\u2019t sure he wants answered. Is Keith still alive? Did he desert the Marines and become part of the Vietnam underworld? And if he is still living, who did Peter\u2019s family bury twenty-five years earlier?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
