Under a Tropical Sun

On a moonlit evening in 1951, three American Navy men are beheaded on a Philippine beach. The CIA suspects the elusive Pulog, a rebel leader with communist ties. Ben, a young operative based in Washington, is sent to find him. The two have crossed paths before, as students at an elite Jesuit college in Manila. A decade later, the choices they made during World War II, their spiritual ties to the same Catholic priest, and the attraction they share to a beautiful Eurasian woman, complicate the search for justice and raise issues that reverberate today.
