Customer Reviews

Another very fine book by this author

Once again T. Jefferson Parker has introduced the reader to a segment of society that one would normally not be exposed to. He did it against the usual backdrop of a very well written mystery.

A surprising hit

As a reader of all T. Jefferson Parker's novels, I held back on buying and reading this one for some time, but since I enjoyed his other books I gave this a try.Boy was I happy! For me this was definetly the sleeper hit for T. Jefferson Parker. The excitement and plot twists kept my attention. I was really bummed to finish. It was a great insight into the Vietnamese culture of Westminister, CA.A few flashback scenes really helped explain the motivations of some of the key figures.Exceptional
