Hollow Vengeance - Tom Richmond

When Frank Barrett meets Ramsay Davis at Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, he begins the next chapter of his life and marries her, quickly finding himself deeply in love and committed to his wife. But Frank must leave Ramsay behind when he reports for duty as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force in December of 1970.

When Frank—nicknamed “Bee Sting” Barrett in the service—returns home to Florida as an ace captain, tragedy strikes. He is a witness as his beloved, pregnant wife is killed by a drug runner named Little Eddy. Revenge ravages Frank and compels him to pursue the man to Panama. Driven by grief and rage, he commits an unspeakable act, leaving Little Eddy for dead. Frank then returns to Florida to train for a second tour in Vietnam—only to see Eddy show up as well. Eddy is a loose cannon and the Mafia wants him dead, but he may get to Frank before they find him.

A story of love, loss, and revenge that travels from Florida to Panama and Southeast Asia, Hollow Vengeance follows Frank as he tries to find peace and get retribution for his wife’s death—a quest that involves the trenches of the mafia’s drug ring in Tampa.
