Water Heart Erich R Sysak

An American political science professor is found dead in a local catfish pond and most in the expat community suspect suicide. Then one of her graduate students disappears and Bonner sees the connection. But it's the last thing he wants to get involved with. He'd rather open a little coffee shop on campus and enjoy the best SE Asia has to offer. But when an old friend reappears and needs help, Bonner is compelled to change. He's forced on a mission up the Mekong River to Laos where he will take on a surprisingly American cargo, two soldiers AWOL from Iraq who followed the old hippie trail as an escape. The Mekong River where they travel holds the secret to a tragic love affair, an old friendship, and a changing Far East.
