From inside DJ flap - Going back to Dunetown was worse than going to Vietnam. I didn't know for sure what was in store for me in Nam; I knew what was waiting in Dunetown. Jake Kilmer hasn't been home to Dunetown in twenty years. The place holds bad memories for him. Back then, he had been the college football star who broke an ankle and, at the same time, shattered a few of his dreams. When his star faded so did the beautiful young Doe Findley. Then came Vietnam and the horror of war--and the mysterious death of Jake's best friend, Doe's brother. Now, twenty years later, Jake is a supercop for the Feds. And it's time to return to Dunetown. Things have changed. The once sleepy town is now referred to as "Doomtown." The mob has taken over Dunetown. But one by one, mobsters are dying. Being slaughtered. The Mafia is Jake Kilmer's very special business, so he comes home to solve the murders and save "Doomtown" from devouring itself. William Diehl (December 4, 1924 November 24, 2006) was an American novelist and photojournalist. During World War II, Diehl lied about his age to join the U.S. Army Air Corps at 17, serving as a ball turret gunner on a B-24 Liberator where he flew 24 missions over Germany. He was the recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Purple Heart and the Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters. Diehl often cited his experiences during the war as a strong influence on his fiction. Diehl was also a successful photographer and journalist, when he began his novel-writing career at 50. His first novel, Sharky's Machine, was made into the 1981 film of the same name, directed by and starring Burt Reynolds. Diehl saw it being shot on location in and around his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. It was the most successful box-office release of a film directed by Reynolds. Diehl relocated to St. Simons Island, Georgia, in the early 1980s, and lived there for the next 15 years before returning to Atlanta. While living on St. Simons, he completed eight other novels, including Primal Fear, which was adapted into the 1996 film of the same name.
