Description
1969 is a time of turmoil and murder for a New York PI in this " twisty, sometimes terrifying" novel from the author of the acclaimed Inspector Troy series ( Kirkus Reviews ). New York PI Turner Raines is a has-been -- and the things he has been include a broken Civil Rights worker, a second-rate lawyer, and a tenth-rate yippie reporter. But in 1969, as the USA is about to land a man on the moon and the Vietnam War is ripping the country to pieces, Raines is working as a skip tracer, making sure draft-dodgers are safe and sound in Canada. When Raines returns from Toronto, he discovers that his oldest friend, a left-wing journalist, has been murdered, and has taken his latest powder keg of a story to his grave. Following the trail of his buddy's death, Turner hits the road for the Texas of his childhood, confronted anew with his divided family, and blown into the dangerous path of a band of brothers from 'Nam whose secrets could not only change Turner's life but the country itself. "Lawton has done historical crime before, in his excellent . . series about Inspector Troy, a WWII-era London police detective. This time we're in the U.S., where . . Lawton convincingly nails the essence of those chaotic years." -- The Seattle Times "Atmospheric . . absorbingly intelligent." -- Financial Times "John Lawton writes great thrillers. . He can hold his own with contemporaries Alan Furst and Phillip Kerr." -- Boston Herald.
