Thai Moon Saloon

After serving in Vietnam, Penn Gwinn and his combat buddy, Jim Starret, relocate to Bangkok, purchasing a saloon to house their bodies and beleaguered souls. Despite its meager profits, they consider it their “retirement.” Their former involvement with the Defense Intelligence Agency comes back to haunt them, however, when the sister of a dead buddy – a DIA field operative – shows up and demands their help. She leads them into a confrontation with the warlord of the Shan State in the Golden Triangle, who is known as “The Prince of Darkness.” After disrupting his opium operation, they find themselves running for their lives. But exposing the rivalry – and inter-agency battles – between the DIA and the CIA could be their final act; when the DIA fights the CIA, only the losers win. Book 1 in the series.
