Payback. Karma. Just deserts...When Keith Cochoran runs away from his hometown of Halifax in the mid-sixties, he hopes he'll be leaving the fierce gales of the North Atlantic behind forever. But the brash young Maritimer, a scrapper, is soon weathering storms of another kind. Too handsome for his own good, and a magnet for women - and trouble - he finds himself skipping cross-country, ducking flying fists and bullets from the streets of Montreal, where the separatist movement is gathering strength, to the glittering towers of Toronto, to the USA, a country sinking in the quicksand of the Vietnam War. There a draft dodger and a rich Republican alter his course abruptly, catapulting him into a strange new reality overseas. "Life is a learning process," an old German, a survivor of two world wars, tells him, staring across a table in a smoky bar. Keith has much to learn, about himself, about trust, about staying alive. In this psychological drama, Day of Vengeance, author Duke Pazaratz captures a grim but vivid snapshot of a changing world.
