No one emerges unscathed from war, and ER doctor Carmen Nguyen is no different. More than thirty years after Vietnam, when the ghosts of that distant war come calling, Carmen decides to look for her father, Langston Blue, an army sergeant and Vietnam combatant, whom she never knew. Blue remains a shadowy figure, forever missing from Carmen's life and presumed dead since the end of the war. But Ket Tran, Carmen's feisty aunt and the guiding light in her life, has a sliver of evidence that Blue may still be alive - and on U.S. soil. Against her better judgment, Ket tells Carmen what she knows and Carmen enlists the help of CJ Floyd, the streetwise, Denver-based, African-American bail bondsman, Vietnam vet - and reluctant investigator.
With the help of CJ Floyd and his new partner, former Marine intelligence sergeant Flora Jean Benson, Carmen charts a course to resurrect and reconstruct her father's past. They soon discover a complex, dangerous trail that untangles a decades-old mystery involving the disappearance of Amerasian war babies, illegal U.S. paramilitary operations, yellow journalism, political corruption, and power grabs that lead all the way to the halls of the U.S. Senate. Resurrecting Langston Blue is a mystery and political thriller that twists and turns right up to the very end.
