Jack Kilmer is a cop for the Feds. His specialty is a
branch of the Mafia known as the Cincinati Triad.
For years he's pursued them - circling in on their corrupt
stench, dodging their bullets.

“A WHODUNIT DELIGHT.”
- Playboy


Now they've set up shop in Dunetown, Georgia, where
Jake spent an idyllic summer twenty years ago.
Where, for a golden moment before Vietnam,
everything - friendship, honor, the love of a beautiful
woman - seemed possible.

“A GUT-BUSTING NOVEL ABOUT CRIME IN A
GEORGIA TOWN...Diehl's writing packs a wallop,
and his compassion runs deep.”
- The Seattle Times


Now Dunetown is a bloodbath. Someone is murdering
the leaders of the Triad, and Jake has to find the killer.
For help he has the Hooligans, the toughest bunch of ex-
cops ever assembled. And for memories, he's got a crowd
of ghosts to deal with - some of them very much alive....
