A Tangled Web is a thriller that takes place during the Vietnam era and is reflective of the author’s actual war experiences. The Story follows Supply Officer Kevin Boyce from the time he boards a Naval destroyer bound for Vietnam to when he accepts a posting at a remote naval base involved in the initial moon landing, and concludes when he is recruited by Naval Intelligence to try to uncover a suspected Russian mole.
Greta Schmidt, a beguiling transfer student who pursues Kevin from Supply Corps School in Athens, Georgia, to several ports of call in Southeast Asia, and, eventually, to his duty station in El Centro, California. Her continuing interest in the young officer arouses suspicion among Kevin’s supervisors, and his assignment to monitor her activities gets him tangles with a crooked Supply Officer, a drug-smuggling Mexican gang, and a turncoat spymaster.
A Tangled Web is a fast-paced spy thriller set against the backdrop of actual Navy war experiences at a time when even the most patriotic of American were questioning our democratic, capitalist system.
