Adam McCleet has always had second (and third and fourth and fifth) thoughts about accepting gifts from his man-eating, much-married sister, Margot. This time, though, Margot seems to have come through with the goods: a juicy commission to create a Vietnam war memorial for a posh Portland, Oregon suburb. Adam figures he can pocket a bundle, get some needed name recognition, and maybe even heal a few battle scars of his own.
Without warning, Adam's past, present and future collide, as a series of violent events sends him back into action - on a search-and-destroy mission to find a cunning killer who's aiming to put Adam McCleet out of business...for good.
