The year is 1975 and time is marching on but Tommy Courten is stuck in the past. He is unable to escape the violence he experienced as a marine in Vietnam. Suddenly Tommy's life is thrown into chaos when his baby sister is murdered and the prime suspect escapes to South America. Refusing to accept the failure of the police and the F.B.I., Tommy embarks on a lone manhunt to bring the psychopathic killer to justice. He tracks the man to a dangerous, remote area of Colombia that is controlled by the drug mafia and indigenous tribal people. When he and the killer finally come face-to-face, Tommy is shocked by what he discovers about his own true nature and the path to personal redemption.

A murder case at the Camp LeJeune Marine Corps Base in Jacksonville, North Carolina, made the headlines in 2007. Lance Corporal Maria Lauterbach was killed by Corporal Cesar Laurean, who fled to Mexico. Laurean was extradited to the United States where he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. The sensational aspects of the case inspired the author to write The Stamp, which is loosely based on this incident.

"You are in for a ride with this well-written suspenseful thriller. It grabs you and takes you along and never stalls...The author's style is direct and unpretentious making The Stamp very easy to read. The characters are strong with an intelligence about what they are doing and thinking. I immediately became involved with the characters and caught up in their journey."
