Description
Against the turbulent backdrop of the Vietnam War, a disillusioned journalist becomes entangled in a dangerous heroin smuggling scheme that quickly spirals beyond his control. As the drug moves from Southeast Asia into the fractured American landscape, soldiers, criminals, and civilians are drawn into a world of betrayal, paranoia, and moral compromise. The novel explores the corrosive effects of war, political unrest, addiction, and a society losing its sense of stability. Stark, atmospheric, and psychologically incisive, it is a powerful portrait of a generation caught between idealism and violence.
