As always, Christensen delivers a knockout blow! You won't put this down until the last page!-T.P.
An extraordinary and unique mystery-thriller based on a real place as seen through the eyes of the Military Police in Saigon. L.A.P.
No one knew how long the dark, dank, narrow passageway between the decaying three-story buildings had existed or when American servicemen began calling it 100-P Alley. For sure, those who dared to traverse the dark, dripping corridor knew it as a foreshadowing of Hell.
The 'P' stood for piastre, part of Vietnam's currency during the war years. One piastre was equivalent to one to three American dollars in the late 1960s.
The meaning behind '100-P' was an exaggeration, though not by much. It meant that anything an Army, Marine, Airman, or Navy serviceman wanted, he could get on the cheap in the alleyway. Weed? Yes. Heroin? Yes. Sex with a diseased, pregnant, underage girl? Yes. A hitman? Yes, but for a little more than 100 P. Servicemen could also get things they didn't want: venereal diseases, stabbed, shot, assaulted, robbed, bitten by rats and snakes, airborne diseases the doctors had yet to identify, and memories that would never go away.
Death was a common occurrence-natural, suicide, and murder. Natural deaths in the alley were from disease, untreated war wounds, and premature aging. The many suicides were the result of lost hope. Murder victims were most often prostitutes; the killers were rarely caught because the Vietnamese cops didn't care. Americans were killed there, too.
This is the story of Lyon Pierce and Silas Casper, two Military Policemen in their late 20s during five brutal days patrolling the mean streets of Saigon, and within the deep, reeking shadows of 100-P Alley, where they discover that darkness...has eyes.
Best-selling author Loren W. Christensen has written over 70 books on a variety of subjects. 100-P Alley is a mystery-thriller fiction inspired by a real place in Saigon, Vietnam, during the war. As a Military Policeman, Loren and his partners patrolled the alley nearly every day.
