Beschreibung

In the fog-shrouded jungles of Vietnam, seventeen-year-old Marine sniper Judah Connor Doolin hunts the enemy with lethal precision while wrestling with his own moral compass. Abandoned at birth and adopted by loving parents, Doolin fled high school to prove himself in combat, carrying his mother's gold cross as his only connection to a complicated past.
 
When Doolin discovers evidence of treachery within American ranks—coordinates of planned operations in enemy hands—he forms an unlikely alliance with the enigmatic Colonel Alfred Mallroy. Together, they embark on a dangerous investigation that spans from the highlands of Vietnam to the streets of Saigon, unraveling a conspiracy that puts both their lives at risk.
 
Spanning decades and continents, "A My 3rd Mother" follows Doolin's journey from young sniper to a man seeking redemption. In Mexico, he confronts drug cartel violence with the same calculated precision he once used in combat. Back in America, now working as a paramedic in Chicago, he encounters a trauma surgeon harboring secrets that connect to Doolin's own mysterious origins.
 
This unflinching examination of war's psychological wounds and lasting trauma offers a meditation on loyalty, duty, and the possibility of redemption. Through Doolin's eyes, readers witness the complex moral calculations of those caught in the machinery of conflict and the lifelong quest to reclaim one's humanity after experiencing war's darkest corners.
 
If you enjoyed "The Things They Carried," "Matterhorn," and "Tree of Smoke," you'll love "A My 3rd Mother: Vietnam and the Journey Toward Redemption."

    Mrs. Ginger Reed, known also as Lady Gold, settles into homelife with her husband Chief Inspector Basil Reed, son Scout and newborn daughter Rosa, but when an opportunity to join a dinner party at the renowned Savoy Hotel is offered, she's eager to engage in a carefree night with friends. Some of the guests are troubled when their party's number lands at unlucky thirteen, as death is sure to come to the first person who leaves the table. 
    Thankfully, the Savoy has an answer to this superstitious dilemma. A small statue of a black cat fondly known as Kaspar is given the empty seat, rounding the number to fourteen. 
    Unfortunately, in this instance Kaspar didn't fulfill his duties and a murder is committed. The case is tricky and complicated by a recent escape of a prisoner who has a bone to pick with Basil. Are the two seemingly unrelated incidents connected? 
    Ginger and Basil work together to solve one while avoiding the other, and what can they do about the black cat who crossed their path?
