(Maharg Press) Following the completion of his tour of duty stationed near Saigon in 1970, Lieutenant Alexander Marwick, the main character in this novel, reluctantly agrees to undertake a clandestine diplomatic mission to find a mysterious former Vietnamese military officer and persuade him to transmit a secret American government peace proposal to the North Vietnamese Politburo. The dangerous adventure leads Marwick to the Golden Triangle in Burma, the back alleys of Bangkok, a monastery in Cambodia, and finally to the British hill station of Darjeeling, India. Marwick’s discovery that he is the father of an unexpected child further tests his honor and courage. Graham served in Vietnam in 1969-70 as a U.S. Army officer, and subsequently traveled throughout Southeast Asia. A former headmaster of an American international school in France, he recently retired from teaching mathematics at St. Albans School in Washington, D.C.
