The Matlock Paper

James Barbout Matlock is a Vietnam veteran and college professor, but now the US government has an assignment for him. They want him to investigate what seems to be a large-scale drugs and prostitution business; and they'll go to any lengths to find the answers they need. Matlock is soon trapped in a maze of unrelenting terror, as the people he cares for most are under threat. Would he have accepted the job if he'd known just what it would mean?
