Events can easily alter people’s plans and life journey, particularly if such events are of great magnitude. This was the case of Jack Roach and Bruce King. Jack Roach was a young man who went from a misspent youth to working his way through college and law school to become a prominent trial lawyer. Bruce, on the other hand, was a poor kid whose misspent youth resulted in his being railroaded into the army, later the CIA and the life an assassin. Like many other Americans, particularly the youth from poor families, the Vietnam War led to a major transformation in the lives of Bruce and Jack, as Bruce’s recruitment into the army created an unwanted monster – a hired assassin.
The book covers the lives of these two friends who grew up together in a small New England mill town and how their lives were sent in different directions by events that were out of their control. Bruce had a taste of war and killing and this experience transformed the young soldier from patriot to hired killer. Both friends were reunited in an unimaginable circumstance as they look to bring sanity back to their lives.
