Very Magnum PI-esque with the story surrounding Vietnam Vets. Just not set in Hawaii and the hero is a police detective not a PI. Very interesting plot, and it's cool to look back on modern detective stories just before the advent of cell phones. Stop, go to the pay phone to make a call. Do pay phones even still exist? Good narration. Somewhat predictable twist but it was still good.
