The Chinese Fortune Cookie (Ramblin' Rose)

Having survived combat in Iraq, former Sergeant Joseph Mackey came home to war within himself, one that kept him in the desert even in his sleep. Like the enemy in Iraq, a victim of PTSD never knew when an attack might come and Mac’s symptoms had driven him to homelessness and self-medication. Traveling west from shelters to the streets, his health in a steady decline, Mac sought a warmer winter to continue his struggle with thoughts of ending it all. Now, his back to a wall and a knife at his throat, he was sure the choice was about to be made for him-until a savage growl came out of the darkness and changed everything.

A bullet riddled car, a torn-up hotel room, and a phone call from a former friend testifying to the murder of John Lloyd "Buddy" Heflin all point to foul play in his disappearance from Jackson, Mississippi on a cold New Years Day in 1969. Despite the evidence, no official investigation was ever done, leaving his family with only whispers of what may have led to the reports of him being thrown into the unfeeling waters of the Mississippi river. A conspiracy of silence and a coverup? The persistent whispers concerning Buddy's disappearance have haunted his wife and children for forty-nine years and only the truth can finally quiet them forever.
