Description
April, 1970. As President Nixon's Vietnamization plan is whittling down American troop strength in South Vietnam, a mysterious Caucasian emerges from the rain forest north of Saigon. Late at night he encounters a US Army outpost and is killed. Who was he, and why was he alone deep in the jungle? Military investigator George Tanner must find the answers soon--and survive.

Jeff Wallace is an author I had not heard of prior to this book, but I do love historical fiction (especially wartime fiction), so I decided to give this a try and I was not disappointed.
Wallace has a way of writing that make you feel like this is not fiction at all. You go through this book and by the end you have to remind yourself that while the war was real the events of the book were not. It felt as if you were reading a soldiers account of the events.
There were a few times where I felt the pacing was on the slow side, but it still felt like a thriller. I look forward to any other books by Jeff Wallace.
Without spoilers, let's just say the ending felt like tragic closure to the story. "You sell yourself short, George. You would not have walked away. Once you had your friends safe, you would have come after me. There is no rest in you either."
