Homicide: Saigon: A Military Thriller

FROM THE MODERN MASTER OF THE ACTION-ADVENTURE M.I.A. HUNTER SERIES COMES HOMICIDE: SAIGON!

SAIGON, 1970.

The threat of death is never more than a heartbeat away.

McGavin has his hands full. The brass thinks he’s too damn cowboy. Viet Cong assassin teams are operating openly across the city. He’s taken on a deadly coalition about to flood the streets of America with heroin. And oh yeah, there’s McGavin’s beautiful wife Kelly, a Pulitzer-class photo journalist newly arrived under an assumed name to document her husband’s war…
