The murder of a Vietnamese woman in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood brings Caleb and Thinnes together to catch a deadly criminal known only as the White Tiger. The TV news report of a woman's murder in Uptown flashes psychiatrist Dr. Jack Caleb back to his time in Vietnam. Assigned to investigate, Chicago detectives John Thinnes and Don Franchi find the victim's son curiously unmoved by his mother's death. Their preliminary canvass of the dead woman's neighborhood reveals that she was well liked and well off, and she had never quarreled with anyone but her "good son." When Thinnes realizes that he knew the victim when he was stationed in Vietnam-twenty-four years earlier-he is pulled off the case. But Thinnes can't let go. And when a schizophrenic man shows up at Mrs. Lee's wake, connecting the deceased to another Vietnam vet and to an unsolved murder in wartime Saigon, Thinnes starts a retrospective investigation of that crime, soliciting Caleb's help to discover the identity of the White Tiger and set a trap for the elusive killer.
