Suspensefull and somewhat gripping. Probably not comfortable for Nam vets to read. Straub has a peculiar flavor but it does not show too much here.

A powerful story about a group of Vietnam vets who are forced to confront the horrors and atrocities of their past. Peter Straub leaves the fantasy/horror genre behind with a more psychological thriller that has incredibly descriptive scenes and imagery of the Vietnam war, as well as 1980s Saigon, Bangkok, Singapore, and the gritty side of New York City.

This book was good. Deep & disturbing at times. It's about a group of men who served in the Vietnam War, how the war shaped them into who they are now, what they were before the war..why people act as they do.

Vietnam veterans discover a man from their platoon could be a murderer.
