Customer Reviews

One of the best by Roberts

J.M. Roberts, best known for his SPQR Cycle, here goes contemporary with Gabe Treloar (a P.I.) settling old scores in Vietnam. As usual with Roberts, the first 2-3 books in each of his series (SPQR, this one, or the Iron Isles) are VERY strong indeed, but then he somehow seems to loose interest. Ghosts of Saigon is the second of the Treloar Mysteries and it's a good book, well written and believable. Fast-paced. Get this one (and the predecessor "american town"), forget about no. 3 "desperate highways"...

An action-pack ride

Gabe Treloar, a former MP during the Vietnam War, is now a private dectective. He is hired by a former MP buddy, now a Hollywood producer to discover who wants to destroy his latest film project. To solve the mystery he must travel the dangerous jungles of Vietnam and Hollywood. The ending is satisfying as well as action-packed. Get the book and settle back to enjoy the roller coaster ride.
