Up Country (Paul Brenner Book 2)

Paul Brenner, a former army homicide investigator, is pulled out of forced early retirement when his old commanding officer asks him to investigate a murder that occurred in Vietnam thirty years earlier. Brenner accepts the assignment out of curiosity, loyalty, and a sense of boredom with civilian life. Back in Vietnam, Brenner encounters Susan Weber, an American expatriate living in the country. As he pursues the investigation, he becomes entangled in a world of corruption and double-crosses while confronting the lingering effects of a war that continues to shape both the nation and its people. The case forces Brenner to reckon with memories and conflicts that remain unresolved decades after the war's end.
