A haunted, heroin-addicted Vietnam vet's new PI gig might turn his life around--or end it: "[Hurst] is crazy as a loon, funny as hell, and deadly serious." --Sterling Watson, author of Night Letter Jackson Hurst is not in a good place. The only thing that eases the pain is the heroin he's been addicted to since his time in Vietnam--and it's already cost him his job and his girlfriend. The downward spiral is only going to continue unless something changes. Then he's given an opportunity by his aunt Camille, a Vermont millionaire who wants to hire Jackson to rescue her twenty-year-old daughter from kidnappers. Camille will spare no expense to get Cheryl back--she also wants the kidnappers dead. And Jackson desperately needs the money. The question is whether he can stay clean long enough to do the job--and more importantly, whether he can bring himself to kill again . . . From the award-winning author of Nisei and other novels, this is both a gritty detective story and a portrait of one down-and-out man's quest for redemption in 1970s America.
