Digger

the long version

Ideas and plot gimmicks explode like land mines in this innovative thriller about a Vietnam vet who recreates the tunnels where so many of his buddies died under the streets of his Illinois hometown. From this unique perspective, John Fortunato watches the start of another war--a struggle for the control of a local labor union. Mix Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest with The X-Files (Fortunato has paranormal powers of perception when he's underground)--and you'll get some idea of how original this concept is, especially in the current thriller market.
