Vietnam, 1969. Ten men. A jungle. A vote, five to four. Eighty-seven seconds of chaos that would haunt them for the next fifty-seven years. Today, in the Florida Everglades, a body surfaces bearing a signature Alex Graham has feared for decades. This is no coincidence. It’s a summons. Alex Graham spent his FBI career reading the most methodical minds in the business. He knows a staged crime scene when he sees one. This pattern has been decades in the making, orchestrated by a man everyone assumed was dead or gone. Now he is closing the circle, one name at a time, in an order of his own choosing. He calls himself Apache. This time, he wants to be found. He’s waiting at the end of a trail rigged with traps, in a clearing deep in the swamp that he’s kept ready for years. He has only one audience in mind: the last men who were there in 1969. Andrew Berg, a media mogul and the civilian reporter who was there with them, throws everything a seven-billion-dollar empire can buy into the hunt: a Gulfstream, a fortune, connections built over half a century. None of it will be enough. Alex and what’s left of his brothers-in-arms will have to go back without Bureau backup, into the mud carrying the weight of what began in Vietnam. Because Apache doesn't just want them dead. He wants to be seen — by the only men who know what he really is. And before the end, they will be forced to confront what none of them has ever said out loud. They survived hell once, back in 1969. How many of them will walk out this time? __________________________________ A gripping thriller in the vein of Platoon and The Silence of the Lambs.
