Page-turning . . . the balance of plot and character is perfect Publishers Weekly Starred Review

Roark is genuinely likeable (not too tough, but not a patsy) The New York Times

Boston, 1985. Private Investigator - and former Special Forces operative - Andy Roark knows he doesn''t fit in with the regular clientele at the Harvard Club, and that''s fine by him. He''s at the elegant bar for one reason only: to meet with the former ambassador of Laos. Ambassador Gordon Stevenson has a job for him . . . and Roark''s here to turn it down.

So what if Stevenson''s been getting death threats? After what he did during the Vietnam war, the lives lost under his incompetent command, Roark''s almost tempted to cheer his would-be assassin on. But then Roark finds out why
