1967: A brutal murder in the midst of an anti-Vietnam War
group sparks an investigation by Sam McCain, in Ed Gorman’s
most politically charged mystery yet.
When we last saw Sam McCain he had been drafted to fight the
war in Vietnam. But Sam’s military career ended in boot camp
when he was accidentally shot in the head and forced to
spend three months in a military hospital to recover.
Sam returns to his hometown of Black River Falls, where he
works as a lawyer (and part-time investigator) for the court
of the snobbish but amusing Judge Esme Ann Whitney. Two of
Sam’s oldest friends are caught up in this same battle.
Veteran Steve Donovan brutally belittles and finally
savagely beats his old friend veteran Will Cullen when
Cullen announces he’s joined the anti-war group.
When Cullen is found murdered, the obvious suspect is Steve
Donovan, but Sam has serious doubts about the man’s guilt.
At least three people had reasons to murder Cullen, and Sam
begins to suspect he’ll discover even more as his
investigation heats up, in this dynamic new politically
charged mystery novel by a veteran of the form.
