The Gomorrah Principle - Destefanis, Rick

. .

Résumé :
He went to Vietnam to uncover the truth about his brother's death. Now the killers are threatening him and those he loves. Brady Nash never intended to become a legendary sniper. He enlisted for one reason: to discover what really happened to Duff Coleridge, his foster brother and closest friend, whose suspicious death in Vietnam has left behind more questions than answers. His decision may also cost him the woman he loves-Duff's sister, Lacey. Convinced the war will take Brady just as it took her brother, she turns away from him and struggles to build a new life on her own. Once deployed, Brady proves his extraordinary skill with a rifle. In Vietnam's Central Highlands, that gift earns him a name among the enemy: H? x?o quy?t-The Cunning Tiger. But becoming a notorious hunter also makes him valuable to dangerous men. Recruited into the shadow war of covert operations and the Phoenix Program, Brady follows Duff's trail through triple-canopy jungle, the back alleys of Saigon, and the battle-scarred streets of Hue. Each answer draws him deeper into a web of espionage, drug trafficking, assassination, and betrayal-and closer to the possibility that Duff was murdered by one of his own. Soon Brady is no longer hunting the killers. They are hunting him. To survive, he must embrace the ruthless principle that made him a feared sniper. But if he sacrifices all he believes to avenge the dead, will there be enough of him left to return to the woman he loves? Winner of the Readers' Favorite Silver Medal for Military Fiction, The Gomorrah Principle is a Vietnam War historical thriller about brotherhood, love, loyalty, and the moral wounds soldiers carry long after the fighting ends. Perfect for readers seeking an emotionally driven Vietnam War historical thriller with authentic combat, a murder conspiracy, a love story, and a young soldier's struggle to preserve his humanity....
