Opis

Three murders and two attempts on his life was not what USAF investigator, Major Charlie Snider bargained for when he was dispatched to the island of Taiwan to investigate alleged irregularities in the Air Force's Taiwan Contracting Center. This is a novel of conspiracy, bribery and murder in the quest for lucrative United States Air Force contracts in Taiwan: The big bonanza, a $200 million, five year contract. While Major Snider is en route to Taiwan, the commander of the Contract Center which he is to investigate is killed in an automobile accident; apparently from driving drunk. The problem: the deceased commander was a devout Mormon whose religion prohibits consuming alcohol spirits of any kind. In order to facilitate his investigation without revealing it to those in the Center and the four Air Force bases the Center supports, Major Snider is assigned to succeed the dead commander. While in this position he gets embroiled in bribery and murder, including two attempts on his own life in his quest for the truth.
