About this title

From Library Journal:

Having invented the most unlikely fictional heroMongo Frederickson, a dwarf who graduated from circus performer to professor of criminology and private detectiveChesbro appears to have run out of steam. Assisted by his policeman brother, Mongo looks into the disappearance of his friend and martial arts instructor Veil Kendry, who has overcome enormous psychiatric problems to become a respected abstract painter. Kendry's disappearance is related to his earlier covert activities in the Vietnam jungles under the name Archangel. Despite assorted assassination attempts by a cast of improbable villains, a high-level government coverup, and many grisly murders, the depressing duo wrap up their fifth case by surviving a shootout at a joint House-Senate Investigating Committee.

A renowned artist, the missing man is also a disturbed Vietnam veteran. Mongo, accompanied by his brother, detective Garth Frederickson of the NYPD, follows a serpentine trail to remote locations, which include a Hmong settlement in Seattle. Everyone Mongo meets is killed by a faceless gang who tail the brothers, ultimately leading them to Hendry, the prime target. The novel's climax occurs at a Congressional hearing, with an explosion that strains one's nerves to the limit. (October 27
