Synopsis
A Buddhist monk sets himself ablaze in protest.
A woman swan dives to her death in Manhattan's East River.
Secrets on 1970s Cambodia emerge in Hell's Kitchen.
Now Maggie Malone must trace the steps of a ghost-father in the CIA, to save her own life.
Running her father's venerable Irish bar, Maggie and her criminally inclined brother are scarcely surprised when a man shows up on their doorstep, holding an urn full of ashes, with news that her father is not just missing. He's dead.
Clutching a fistful of damning old photos, Maggie enlists her reluctant boyfriend, Detective Bobby Gonzalez, to help her unravel the mystery of her father's murder. But unearthing her father's murky secrets means tracing Maggie's and her brother's roots to the flames of Vietnam. Who was their father? What became of a tiny baby girl sent to America in Operation Babylift? And why will shadowy figures stop at nothing to prevent the secrets of the jungle and a family coming to light, even if that means destroying Maggie and her brother?
