Stacked Deck

If ghosts from your past haunted you nightly, could you keep your life straight? Or would you set off on a journey to find answers? Meet Will Cameron, popular English professor and Vietnam vet, with a troubling past he can't seem to remember. Stacked Deck is a supernatural expedition into the darkest recesses of memory for unlikely friends. Told through the eyes of three veterans--Will Cameron, the introspective English professor and past squad leader; Algernon Carrington III, an unlikely private who questions his elite station in life; and Tran Van Quan, a Buddhist Vietnamese soldier and US transplant--the men stumble into a chance meeting that leads down a rabbit hole. Fate threw them together in the midst of the Vietnam War and they survived... when the rest of the squad perished. Now the bell is tolling. Fate will have its due. Amidst entertaining philosophical debates, quests of self-discovery, and a thrilling search for salvation skirting everything from rural America to Triad hit men, the truth does not always set you free... or keep you alive. Fans of the Sixth Sense , Slaughterhouse-Five , and Saving Private Ryan will love Stacked Deck . Join the supernatural journey. Read Stacked Deck , the fantastic debut novel of Edwin Clark, and find out why someone would stencil "Not Insane" across the side of their VW bus.
