Synopsis
“I solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic...”
A lifetime ago, a young naval aviator took the Oath. Tom McGuire, now a San Francisco PD homicide inspector, hadn’t thought about that Oath in years. That was all about to change.
A famous San Francisco newspaper columnist has been murdered. Some would say “executed”. Shot through the head, her arms tried behind her, knotted together from shoulder to wrist.
McGuire feels an eerie chill of recognition. After being shot down over North Vietnam, he suffered through seven years as a prisoner of war in the infamous Hanoi Hilton, enduring rope torture many times- his arms tied in exactly the same way.
A lifetime ago, another young naval aviator also took that Oath. He also was shot down over North Vietnam, and joined McGuire as a POW in Hanoi. His interpretation of the Oath differs from McGuire’s.
After thirty years, their lives were about to intersect once again. This time with explosive consequences.
**2016 BAIPA BOOK AWARD WINNER - FICTION - 1ST PLACE
"The characters and dialogue are ultimately believable. The ending is unpredictable in the extreme. Combined, you've got a real page turner."
The Irish Herald Book Review
"A dying former POW, four dead women, a world-weary homicide cop and the Vietnam War are expertly woven together in a masterful piece of storytelling that will leave you guessing right until the last few pages of 'The Oath.' This is an excellent book with just the right amount of social commentary woven into its pages to make it not just another murder mystery."
Mike Billington
Author and Army veteran who spent two tours in Vietnam (awarded Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Combat Infantryman's Badge).
"The Oath is one of those books difficult to put down once you start it! If you are one of us who did not appreciate Jane Fonda giving aid and comfort to the North Vietnamese during her visit to Hanoi in July 1972, you will appreciate this book. Very entertaining."
RADM Thomas F. Brown III
Naval Aviator and veteran of three deployments to the Gulf of Tonkin in support of the War.
