Au Revoir, Vietnam

Saigon in the summer of 1964. The city's smothering heat and monsoon cloudbursts are only minor distractions for a city gripped by terrorist bombings, rumors of coups and the shadow of war.In the chaos, it's easy to overlook the drowning death of American oil executive Leland Graham. Just an accident, the South Vietnamese police say. Move on. But one of their officers isn't so sure, and he whispers his doubts to American adviser Steve Jordan. The former FBI agent sees a deadlier game at play and refuses to let it go. His suspicions lead him to a Viet Cong assassin, a tempting widow, a would-be spy - and Frenchmen unwilling to let go of their former colony.Jordan chases the truth through steaming jungles, smoky nightclubs and bureaucratic haze. If only he weren't weighed down by booze, women and shirts always soaked in sweat or rain. Will he ever get to the bottom of Graham's murder? It's hard to tell in Saigon, where confusion is as certain as the next downpour.
