Okinawa 1967

A Marine’s sea bag goes into storage on the island of Okinawa, to be retrieved after Corporal Daniel Keane completes his thirteen-month tour of duty in South Vietnam.

The bag suddenly appears forty years later, as its warehouse home is demolished after decades of neglect.  

Washington, D. C. 2006

Jack Keane, high-impact business consultant and the younger brother of a long dead Marine, takes delivery of his brother’s last effects.  Never satisfied with the murky explanation of Daniel Keane’s last days, he unpacks the aged canvas cylinder.

What he discovers inside launches him on a journey to discover what really happened one rain-soaked January night in Da Nang, Vietnam, at the height of that war.

Chris Joyce is a second-career writer (version 2.0). After thirty years as a CFO, he appreciates the freedom that fiction allows, after working with financial facts for many years. He served with the Marines in Vietnam.

Joyce lives in Northern Virginia.
