Unclaimed Money

                                                                                



 

I wrote another novel.  It's about the pain of being dispossessed, and the fulfillment of reclaiming some of the past--and a lot of other things.  Here's an idea of what to expect:

In her first job after college at the Washington, D.C. office of a Swiss bank, Sylvie hopes for stimulating and challenging work, the excitement and lifestyle opportunities of the nation’s capitol, and, last but not least, romantic adventure.  Orphaned in the Vietnam War and adopted by a couple in Kansas, Sylvie knew little about her Vietnamese birth parents and grew up feeling isolated and disconnected.  She seeks a fuller and richer life in Washington.  What she didn’t expect was a lecherous pig of a boss who gives her a mysterious assignment that takes her into a vortex of deception, fraud and murder.  Sylvie is new to Washington, and has no friends, mentors or allies to turn to.  However, when she is repeatedly threatened and harassed, Sylvie fights back with help from Frank, a burned out Vietnam vet, and stumbles upon hints of a very dark secret at the bank.  She pursues the clues, follows the money, and improbably discovers a profound connection to her birth parents, learning how dearly they loved her.

Tale of the Magic Dragon

                                                                                   

                                                                         Rated 5 Stars

My novel about betrayal in the Vietnam War.  Betrayal was the defining feature of the Vietnam War, and there were many betrayals.  They didn't stop when the war was over.  There weren’t supposed to be any live MIAs.  The North Vietnamese denied holding any.  But that didn’t mean someone else wasn’t.  Former Green Beret Frank McTigue, struggling as a private investigator, agrees to protect pretty Lia, who was threatened with death because she witnessed a murder--the murder of Frank’s former commanding officer.  As Frank scrambles to protect his client, he is drawn into unfinished business from his tour of duty.  Treachery from the past works its poison into Frank’s new life as he makes a shocking discovery about men left behind on a patrol that officially never happened, men he's never forgotten.  Outnumbered and outgunned, Frank teams up with former Special Forces comrade at arms Odell Franklin.  Still holding to the belief that no member of their unit can be left behind, they push forward into places where they shouldn’t go, and into a desperate fight where secrets are dear, lives are cheap, and the chances for victory and redemption are slender.
