A Tax in Blood — Benjamin M. Schutz

Malcolm Donnelly's new widow is in mourning - for the $200,000 in life insurance that his suicide kept from her. But was it a suicide? She hires Leo Haggerty to investigate - just as a bomb kills nineteen people at the black wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Before long, the routine case becomes entwined in an escalating spiral of violence, brainwashing, and the horrific aftermath of the Vietnam War - relived by Haggerty's tormented partner, Arnie Kendall. The stakes are high. The scars are deep. And Leo Haggerty faces his darkest personal demons when terrorists demand... A Tax in Blood.
