When the Killing Starts — Ted Wood

Yet again, vacation rolls around for Reid Bennett and he passes it up for a case. This time, Norma Michaels offers Reid $25,000 to find her son, Jason. Reid heroically takes the job because he seeks to stick it to Colonel George Dunphy, a corrupt military officer who gets young men to join the military, sends them overseas, and steals their money. Reid must gamble his life to rescue Jason from the grasp of this military cult.
