"A tiny homeless man confesses his shocking life story to his only friend—a Miami police officer. Just ten days later, he is killed in a mysterious hit-and-run. The officer embarks on a three-year quest to uncover the truth behind the man’s unbelievable past—from the bloody jungles of Vietnam to the dangerous streets of Iraq and Venezuela—discovering that sometimes reality is far stranger than fiction."

Author and police officer David Yuzuk befriended Richard J. Flaherty in 1999, when Flaherty was living homeless on the streets of Miami. Flaherty warned Yuzuk that asking too many questions about his secretive life could be bad for Yuzuk’s career and dangerous to his own health. Sure enough, eight hours after Yuzuk made a call to confirm Flaherty’s identity, Flaherty was killed in a hit-and-run and that sets the stage for a bewildering plummet down a rabbit hole of CIA conspiracies, and shadow governments. It would be the last investigation in Yuzuk's twenty-year police career, stretching from the bloody jungles of Vietnam to the dangerous streets of Iraq and Venezuela.

At 4' 9" 97lbs Richard Flaherty is believed to be the smallest man to ever serve in the U.S. military. Needing a congressional waiver just to join the Army he achieved the impossible by becoming a Green Beret Captain and a Vietnam vet war hero earning the Silver Star, 2 Bronze Stars and 2 Purple Hearts. - 101st Airborne & 3rd Special Forces Group.

#1 New York Times best seller - Author Doug Stanton "Giant Killers are among us-- author David Yuzuk walked with one and returned with this tale.”
