“We the unwilling, led by the unqualified to kill the unfortunate, die for the
ungrateful.” (Unknown Soldier)

Set in the South at the height of the Vietnam War, The Unwilling combines
crime, suspense, and searing glimpses into the human mind and soul in New York
Times best-selling author John Hart’s singular style.

Gibby’s older brothers have already been to war. One died there. The other came
back misunderstood and hard, a decorated killer now freshly released from a
three-year stint in prison.

Jason won’t speak of the war or of his time behind bars, but he wants a
relationship with the younger brother he hasn’t known for years. Determined to
make that connection, he coaxes Gibby into a day at the lake: long hours of
sunshine and whisky and older women.

But the day turns ugly when the four encounter a prison transfer bus on a
stretch of empty road. Beautiful but drunk, one of the women taunts the
prisoners, leading to a riot on the bus. The woman finds it funny in the
moment, but is savagely murdered soon after.

Given his violent history, suspicion turns first to Jason; but when the second
woman is kidnapped, the police suspect Gibby, too. Determined to prove Jason
innocent, Gibby must avoid the cops and dive deep into his brother’s hidden
life, a dark world of heroin, guns, and outlaw motorcycle gangs.

What he discovers there is a truth more disturbing than he could have imagined:
not just the identity of the killer and the reasons for Tyra’s murder, but the
forces that shaped his brother in Vietnam, the reason he was framed, and why
the most dangerous man alive wants him back in prison.

This is crime fiction at its most raw, an exploration of family and the past,
of prison and war and the indelible marks they leave.

“Another scorcher from Hart…[he] keeps us engaged…subtly folding quiet,
character-driven moments into the story while still powering the narrative
toward an all-stops-out ending - and a chilling coda.” (Booklist, starred
review)
