Obedience (Dave Brandstetter Mystery)

When Vietnam vet Andy Flanagan finds Le Van Minh, the owner of an LA marina, dead, he is promptly accused of the murder. But the public defender thinks Flanagan is innocent, and hires Dave Brandsetter to prove it. Soon, Dave discovers that other prominent Vietnamese have met violent deaths recently, and finds himself on the unseen border where American and Asian cultures clash and where ancient truths conflict with contemporary greed and corruption.
