Publishers Notes
Chapman Bouttell, a South
Australian homicide detective, is assigned to investigate an apparently
motiveless murder in suburban Adelaide. But this case turns out
to be something different altogether, as Chapman recognizes the victim
as a member of a covert action unit - to which Bouttell himself was
assigned during the Vietnam War. Soon, he discovers that three of the
four survivors from his unit have met their end in a similar fashion.Drawn
into a violent conspiracy that dates back to those chaotic days,
Bouttell realizes that if he doesn't act fast, he will be next. But why
do they want him dead, and who is behind the mysterious group only known
as The Coterie?
