As a soldier in Vietnam, John Fortunato fought in the crushing darkness of the tunnels of Cu Chi, from which the Vietcong launched their deadliest operations. Back home in Elk River, Illinois, he secretly re-created those deadly tunnels. Partly a memorial, partly a kind of exorcism, they now lie hidden beneath the town's peaceful streets.
But that peace shatters when Fortunato witnesses the brutal sidewalk shooting of an innocent victim. The vicious crime is only the first assault by a man who will wage a full-scale battle to control Elk River. And on the front line is John Fortunato, whose secret tunnels will provide the battleground for his own war. As his enemy is about to learn, when this veteran warrior goes down, he's just beginning to fight.

Review:
Ideas and plot gimmicks explode like land mines in this innovative thriller about a Vietnam vet who recreates the tunnels where so many of his buddies died under the streets of his Illinois hometown. From this unique perspective, John Fortunato watches the start of another war--a struggle for the control of a local labor union. Mix Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest with The X-Files (Fortunato has paranormal powers of perception when he's underground)--and you'll get some idea of how original this concept is, especially in the current thriller market.
