Coretta Scott King attended an anti-war rally in Toronto in 1971 to introduce the John Doe author of SONGS FOR THE DEAF, which was dedicated to a U.S. government that was hard of hearing. They were about to announce a new challenge to the constitutionality of the Vietnam War. It wasn't to be. The John Doe speaker, Marine Captain John Hathaway, who had been listed as an MIA, never lived to go public. Years later, real estate developer Miles Curtin uncovers a grim archaeological site: a mass burial with no artifacts, no identifiers-just bones, secrets, and a sinister connection to the past. The discovery pulls him into a web of conspiracy reaching back to Vietnam, where Hathaway's father, a powerful general, wrestled with his son's betrayal and the dark truths of Operation Native Soil.
Miles must grapple with haunting revelations, his fractured relationships with two women-his ex-wife Alice and the enigmatic Valerie-and the weight of a war that refuses to stay buried.
Blending history, fiction, and chilling speculation, Songs for the Deaf is a gripping thriller about loyalty, redemption, and the echoes of a war that still shapes our present. Some truths demand to be heard-no matter the cost.
