Up Country

Up Country by Nelson DeMille Much more than a
blood-and-guts thriller…An insightful moving and
sensitive look at what the war did to a country its people
and its enemies. – Orlando Sentinel Former army homicide
investigator Paul Brenner has just gotten used to the
early retirement forced on him after the disastrous end of
his last case when his old commanding officer asks him to
return for one final mission: investigate a murder that
took place in wartime Vietnam thirty years before. Brenner
reluctantly accepts out of curiosity and loyalty…and
maybe a touch of boredom. He wont be bored for long. Back
in Vietnam Brenner meets expatriate Susan Weber a woman as
exotic sensual and dangerous as the nation of her
voluntary exile. Brenner is plunged into a world of
corruption lethal double cross and haunted memories-as hes
suddenly thrust back into a war that neither he nor his
country ever really stopped fighting.
