Book description
Three people were dead, their heads bashed in, their bodies hacked
with a samurai sword. All three victims were Japanese. The murder
weapon was traced to Nick Martin, a veteran of Iwo Jima. Nick had
spent fifteen pain-ridden years in and out of Army hospitals. He tried
to drown his memories of the horror, but whisky only put him right
back in the middle of that fierce battle.
Nick drank a fifth the night of the killing.
That's the kind of case the police call 'open and shut.' But Ed
Rivers, a private detective, was a friend of Nick Martin's. And no one
was shutting the door of a death cell on Nick - not while Rivers could
still go after the real, fiendishly clever murderer.
