The Killer Coin — Doc Macomber

Embedded in the slender neck of the burned corpse, a gold coin beckons. Its surprising thumbprint peels back the veneer on a morass of intrigue that threatens to destroy military investigator Jack Vuââ,¬â"¢s sense of order and his career. As his hunt for the murderer unravels, Vu ricochets from the Big Easy to the unlucky waters of the Pacific Northwest. Along the road, he discovers unlikely allies and unexpected enemies. Reinforcements appear in the form of cantankerous swamp rats, bush pilots, and more than a few shots of bourbon. Love, betrayal, honor, and a final sense of justice play out as this case crashes on the rocks. Buckle your seat belts. This is one wild ride.
