The Saigon Tangent During the Vietnam War, Special Forces units operating under the Central Intelligence Agency’s Phoenix Project conducted covert operations, which ranged from rescuing POWs to assassinating communist officials. During a rescue mission, one member was captured and tortured by a renegade KGB agent for information. When this member was rescued, it was believed that the Russian was killed. Nearly twenty years later, there is a rash of grisly homicides that have the NYPD dumbfounded. Five of the original Special Forces members, now law enforcement officers at the local, state, and federal levels, are called upon to form a special task force and given the task of solving these murders, as well as recovering top secret documents taken from the CIA itself. An intricate web of deceit with ties to Vietnam.
