- Synopsis
- The attack is swift, brutal, and devastating. The house of a Chinese restaurant owner is broken into. His daughter raped, he and his wife victimized. Police lieutenant Joe Gunther is plagued by questions. Where did the break-in team come from? Why did they choose this target? Is this just the beginning? The answers come as home invasion becomes town invasion. A ruthless Vietnamese gangster moves to control Brattleboro's small but thriving criminal element--using money, drugs, and murder--and then branches throughout the rest of Vermont. Gunther is suddenly on the trail of illegal aliens, money laundering, and murder-for-hire, all in the middle of a turf war between rival Asian crime rings so organized, so slippery, and so vicious, they make their Mafia counterparts look like aging barroom brawlers.
