Description
September 1973: A pro-trades union congressman is shot dead in a California desert town – along with a celebrity businessman and a barmaid who went for a break at the wrong time.
The triple homicide happened just hours after the congressman told local newspaper editor Wat Tyler that he’d come to town in defiance of a death threat from anti-union workers.
Tyler, a Vietnam combat veteran, teams up with the town’s first female chief of detectives. Together, they link the killings to a defence company boss who has gone missing, leaving a huge Pentagon contract and 1,200 jobs in the balance.
At a time when reality often humbled the wildest conspiracy theories, Tyler comes up against a hostile FBI agent, angry mobsters and a cheated casino owner.
His problems mount when a secretive figure he last saw deep in Viet Cong territory arrives in town…
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
Amazon reviews for Tin Soldiers
"Insightful, intriguing and with an irresistible central character of so many layers, this book demonstrates the author’s strength in taking historical fact, adding fictional narrative and creating really compelling stories."
"Tin Soldiers was everything that I hoped it would be. The characters were all so realistic and flawed in their own ways, with the perfect blend of detail and drama to carry the story forward."
"David Chadwick's four decades as a journalist and his work as a media advisor to the UK Cabinet Office have clearly provided an excellent apprenticeship for writing top notch fiction."
