Not all battles are fought on the battlefield. In 1988, Master Gunnery Sergeant Amos Murdoch retires from the Marine Corps to join fellow veterans Solly Pinkus and Jonny Edwards in launching the 3M Detective Agency. Their modest goal of investigating workman’s comp claims is upended when they are drawn into the murder of a disgraced homosexual Marine. A routine inquiry uncovers a chilling conspiracy rooted in the Vietnam War of twenty years ago, forcing the trio to confront not only the sins of the Corps but also secrets they’ve kept for years. As their bonds are tested and danger mounts, the three Marines and their allies must brave treacherous waters to expose the truth and bring the guilty to justice. But the ghosts of southeast Asia have their own reckoning in store… To Keep Our Honor Clean is a gripping tale of loyalty, redemption, and sacrifice that will leave you haunted by its themes of the cost of honor and the confrontation of painful truths.
