Walter Sherman, aka The Locator, is a tracker who honed his skills in Vietnam. The colorful cast of characters includes Sherman's two friends--a bartender with a mysterious past and an old black man who smokes likes a chimney; a feisty young woman who writes obituaries for the NY Times; a Southern lawyer who has lost everything and has only one things to live for; and a group of Wall Street investment bankers who make a deadly decision. The action takes the reader from a tiny Caribbean bar on the island of St. John to the editorial boardroom of the NT Times, from the gleaming skyline of Atlanta to the isolation of northern New Mexico, from Adirondack hideouts to Manhattan suits to Mississippi backwoods.
