Final Vengeance: Triads kill his friend, but this ex-Marine seeks justice

by Arthur Crandon

He is no stranger to the Philippines, but Paul McCain has never before faced the ruthless evil of the Chinese Mafia. After a failed marriage, buying a hotel in Angeles, the Philippines seemed a good idea for the retired marine. It would take him back to a familiar place where he served years earlier. The familiar places, the cheap alcohol, the girls… Maybe he could forget his wife.
When he bought it, Paul did not know that the local mafia boss, Charlie Wong, also wanted the popular western style hotel. People get kidnapped, people get killed, and people run away frightened, but not Paul – he is made of sterner stuff.
There are many retired US servicemen living in Angeles City. Thousands were stationed there years ago, and many stayed on or returned later, in retirement. They rally to the cause when Paul needs their help.
The battles are long, and bloody. The city is turned upside down while the two sides vie for superiority..
The story does not end well for either side. Plot twists and side plots are weaved to great effect – many secrets are not revealed until the end, and some, not even then.
