Maybe the best of all his books, recent ones included. Returning VN vet, retired Army investigator, is arm twisted out of retirement to go on a clandestine mission into NVN in the late '90s to investigate a decsdes old murder of one US officer by another during the VN war. Along the way are hazards, mostly by old enemies not honchos in the VN communist government. His partner in adventure, crime and espionage is a classy lady out of the Saigon consulate who just happens to speak the language, know the terrain and can handle a .45 Non stop tension and adventure, like all DeMIlle's excellent books.
