Butterfly by Mark Reps

Cullen Hunter, a psychologically scarred Vietnam-era combat veteran, finds himself in the cross hairs of fate. Nearing midlife, haunted by loss and the darkness of his existence, Hunter feels the tight grip of destiny as his work takes him back to Bangkok. An abhorrent, unresolved murder case unleashes the ghosts he has spent a lifetime suppressing. The Bangkok police are chasing a gruesome killer whose modus operandi matches that of Hunter’s most horrid case. A series of murders of kung-farang (Caucasian-American women) grips Bangkok. Teamed with Caucasian-Asian Lieutenant Suliapong, Hunter faces his own demons as he chases down the psychotic madman coined “Butterfly” by the police. The ultimate confrontation between the hunters and the hunted explodes when Hunter and “Butterfly”, shaped indelibly by the forces of war, face off in one final contest.
