In this 18th run of the Andy Carpenter series, the author takes up the case of the forgotten vets. I volunteered with the homeless for two years in Houston and most of them were Vietnam (and later war) vets. So many came back with PTSD and were unable to continue their former lives; thus, they became homeless. This story is a great way to highlight the problem of returning vets who fall through cracks of life in America.

The story is narrated by Andy, the most reluctant lawyer you are likely to meet. He has a cadre of strange and wonderful friends who help him solve his cases. Because of the pithy humor and quick process of the story, they never seem to last very long. After all, Andy is missing a football game or two and he has to get back to his recliner. Great reading.
