BLIND SPOT (Murder on the Mekong, a Novella)

**When A CIA Assassin's Lover is Kidnapped, There Will Be Killing in BLIND

SPOT, a Murder on the Mekong Novella by Hart Rivers**

_\-- The Highlands Jungle, Vietnam, 1969-70 --_

J.D. Mikel is an enigma of a man, a CIA agent of many disguises. Seemingly a

man without a heart and invulnerable, he's fallen in love with Kate

Morningside.

JD realizes his BLINDSPOT when Kate is kidnapped by The Pale Man, a wealthy

sadist competing for the lucrative heroin trade in Vietnam.

To save Kate, JD needs the help of his step-brother, Zhang, who owns the poppy

fields the CIA is determined to get their hands on. JD goes in search of Zhang

as trouble follows him into the jungle Highlands in the midst of the Vietnam

War and straight to a group of trained killers.

**Publisher's Note:** Readers should be prepared for death and graphic

violence consistent with the true nature of the poppy trade and the Vietnam

war. BLINDSPOT is a tightly woven psychological thriller novella that reflects

the real-world experience and knowledge of the author team. Fans of **Dan

Hampton, Larry Chambers, Joe Hart, Doug Stantan** and **Karl Marlantes** will

not want to miss this military historical fiction series.
