Publisher Description

Two murders, thousands of miles apart: one in London, one in Bangkok. The bodies brutally mutilated: an ace of spades impaled upon their chests.

In Washington, a US senator receives photographs of the corpses. And realises that his past has come back to haunt him.

Nick Wright is the detective trying to solve the mystery of the double killing. His hunt for a motive takes him to the tunnels in Vietnam, where the American tunnel rats fought the dirtiest battle of the war against the Viet Cong. But there is a killer protecting the secrets of the tunnels. At whatever cost...

"Stephen Leather is up there with one of my favourite authors, if not THE favourite. As much as I love his Dan Shepherd novels, there's something about his earlier work with his stories based in Asia that really excite me, and this one was no different. A great read!"
