Vietnam, 1975. The war is over, but for some the fight never ends. Benjamin Franklin Smith, a former soldier turned investigator, is trying to rebuild his life in Communist Saigon. When an offer from the Ministry of Public Security forces him into a dangerous deal, recover the remains of a fallen soldier deep in Cambodia—he has no choice but to accept. The mission takes him and his companion, Jean-Claude Bernard, a former French paratrooper turned priest, into the heart of a brutal conflict between the Khmer Rouge and the People’s Army of Vietnam. What begins as a grim assignment quickly spirals out of control. Returning to Saigon with more questions than answers, Smith becomes entangled in a web of betrayal and violence. Hunted by ruthless officials and desperate to uncover the truth, he and Bernard must navigate the dangers of a city where loyalty is fleeting, and survival is a crime. As enemies close in and the killing zone expands, Smith faces a stark surrender and vanish into an unmarked grave or fight against impossible odds. In the chaos of a war that refuses to end, the only way out is through. A full-length novel by Eric Meyer, bestselling author of many Spec Ops books.
