The Oath: 1 (Tom McGuire Mystery)

I solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic...A lifetime ago a young naval aviator took the Oath. Tom McGuire now a San Francisco PD homicide inspector hadnt thought about that Oath in years. That was all about to change.A famous San Francisco newspaper columnist has been murdered. Some would say executed. Shot through the head her arms tried behind her knotted together from shoulder to wrist.McGuire feels an eerie chill of recognition. After being shot down over North Vietnam he suffered through seven years as a prisoner of war in the infamous Hanoi Hilton enduring rope torture many times- his arms tied in exactly the same way.A lifetime ago another young naval aviator also took that Oath. He also was shot down over North Vietnam and joined McGuire as a POW in Hanoi. His interpretation of the Oath differs from McGuires.After thirty years their lives were about to intersect once again.
