Robin came home from Vietnam a hero, handsome, charming, admired by all. It was only after the wedding that Lillian began to suspect that something had terribly changed him, something that was haunting both their lives.

But it was too late. Lillian's dreamlike marriage had become a nightmare, as she desperately tried to break free of the circle of terror that was now part of her husband's embrace....

[Kasey]

No one in the small town, home town of Shelton wants Hall Masson to investigate the murder-murder? or murder-suicide? of his brother Robin and his new wife. Will the dead hero become a fallen idol? And what of other carefully concealed activities, a racist politician's campaign, a hit and run accident, blackmail? All of this keeps you reading and wondering in a very pleasant and proficient fashion. (Kirkus Review)

Summer 1973 I was living with my grandparents working at A&W waitressing to earn money for college and found this book by one of my favorite authors. Reading it for the second time, I found the connection with the Viet Nam War more disturbing.
