The Peter Brandt Mysteries: Book 4

Published Copy

Blurb

A journalist searches for the truth about his older brother's death in Vietnam.

Former war correspondent Peter Brandt’s childhood innocence died the day his older brother, Keith, died in Vietnam. Now, a quarter of a century later, Keith’s former fiancée, Rhonda White, comes back into Peter’s life with an incredible claim—Keith may still be alive.

Twenty-four hours later, police find Rhonda’s body floating in San Diego Bay. Is it murder or suicide?

Rhonda’s death and her claim about Peter’s brother set him on an investigation ranging from the beaches and foothills of Southern California to the mountains of Costa Rica. The deeper he digs, the more mysteries he finds: Marines who fought alongside Keith don’t remember how he died; a shady technology exporter bearing a doppelgänger resemblance to T.D., Keith’s best friend who also died in the same battle; a Navy investigator who covered up his probe of a major wartime black-market operation; and a Costa Rican cop who may more than he seems.

And then there are the big questions Peter isn’t sure he wants answered. Is Keith still alive? Did he desert the Marines and become part of the Vietnam underworld? And if he is still living, who did Peter’s family bury twenty-five years earlier?

Author

Martin Roy Hill has led an eclectic life. Soldier, sailor, journalist… well, not a spy, but he has written about them.

Martin joined the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve when he was 19, the same year he sold his first published piece to Reader's Digest. He spent a total of 13 years as a Coastguardsman, in two tours, involved in small boat search and rescue, emergency medical response, port security, and maritime law enforcement.

Martin's background plays a significant role in his writing, which many reviewers have noted has a sense of realism not often found in fiction. His first book, DUTY, a collection of short stories centered around national service, was named the 2012 Best Short Story Anthology / Collection by the San Diego Book Awards Association. His Linus Schag, NCIS, thriller, The Butcher's Bill, received the 2017 Best Mystery / Suspense Award from the Best Independent Book Awards, the 2017 Clue Award for Best Suspense Thriller, the 2018 Silver Medal for Thrillers from the Readers Favorite Book Awards, and the 2018 Adult Fiction Award from the California Author Project.
