Every mad man in advertising will "kill" to win the huge US Army recruitment account. "A Trace of Red" is the story of how one of them, an ex-MI officer, gets the chance to do exactly that.
"A narrative of substance and profound humanity, written in prose unobtrusively graceful. (A Trace of Red) is, in every sense, an exceptionally fine novel."
-Stanley Ellin, "Sunday NY Times Book Review"
