Small Brutal Incidents
Home from a brutal stint in the Pacific, WWII veteran Graeme Burns finds himself unemployed and blackballed as a whistleblower from the only mill in town still hiring. But his life changes forever when the Ketchum family forces him to find their murderer. With the violence of war fresh on his mind, Burns fights his way through a list of baffling, dead-end leads every day, before sinking to the bottom of a bottle every night. When his path finally leads him full circle, Burns is caught in a familiar game -- one of survival. It's kill-or-be-killed, and smart money goes to the man who has nothing to lose.
