Hard Light (A Maggie MacGowen Mystery)

Filmmaker and amateur sleuth Maggie MacGowen is approached by a beautiful Vietnamese expatriate to find a scholar who escaped from Vietnam after the war, and abruptly disappeared. Also missing from Vietnam is a fortune in art which vanished around the same time as the scholar. Maggie reluctantly agrees to take the case, but her only link with the Vietnamese community is her ex-husband, who used to conduct business in Vietnam. Now the web of intrigue, lies, and betrayals--surrounding the case for two decades--is about to trap everyone it touches, Maggie, her ex-husband, and even her daughter!
