Stolen Identity — Michael W. Sherer

Who are you when someone steals your name?Two men: a former tunnel rat and CIA assassin in the Vietnam War now in his 60s and living a quiet life in Ypsilanti, Michigan; and a mysterious mastermind behind a number of major al Qaeda terror attacks since the 1990s. Two sons: a US assistant district attorney in Detroit; and a suspected terrorist awaiting trial for attempting to smuggle explosives across the Canadian border. One grandson: kidnapped and used as leverage... Zane Keator thought he left war behind when he came home from Southeast Asia as the Vietnam War drew to a close. He's even avoiding the phone calls from his doctor at the VA hospital, knowing that a diagnosis means he'll soon be fighting a war of a different sort. But when an FBI counterterrorist fly team raids his house in the middle of the night, the threat of war becomes personal. His old instincts kick in, and he barely escapes. Soon the subject of a massive manhunt, Keator realizes as he flees the city that the team came in silent and hot, intending to kill not capture him. To figure out who stole his identity and why he's suddenly a wanted man, he turns to the only people who can help him, a fellow “rat,” and his former CIA handler in Cambodia. As the FBI closes in and time runs down on a plot to wreak the most heinous terrorist attack ever on American soil, Keator's showdown with the man who stole his name all comes down to two things: Keator's fierce love for his autistic grandson, and an antique weapon he used against the Viet Cong in the Cù Chi tunnels outside Saigon.
