An Albert Samson mystery.
From the back cover: An armed guard in a high-rent apartment complex, killed a man when a tenant complained he was being bothered and ordered him to shoot. When Samson finds that the dead man was a private detective of shady reputation, that Tomanek's (the guard) lawyer considers his client's chances of acquittal slim, and that Tomanek--shy and overwhelmed with feelings of inadequacy--had been a death-defying hero in Vietnam, he proceeds upon a baffling trail that leads not only to a bizarre murder plot, but to the shattering truth about how we live--and die--today.
