John Quincy Watson was a young bomber pilot flying the new B-29 Superfortress in a mission over Japan when he was shot down and taken prisoner. Designated a "special prisoner," as were all Allied airmen, he, along with his comrades, suffered and almost indescribably brutal POW experience under a vicious camp commandant that Watson, with his friends, dubs the "the Hyena." When a chance encounter years after the war brings Watson, now Bishop Watson, into contact with a man he believes to be the Hyena, the Bishop must struggle with an anger and a desire for vengeance he thought he had long put aside. The Special Prisoner is a taut and dramatic novel.

Special Prisoner
Jim Lehrer's stories are always short, direct, and without fluff - this one being no exception. The first half of the book alternates between a WWII veteran who swears he sees his old Japanese prison camp commander at an airport (in 1999 or so) and his experiences being tortured along with other soldiers at the Japanese camp in 1944-45.
And then there's a plot twist, smack in the middle of the book, that is absolutely fabulous!
Can't give away what happens in the second half of the book, but the reason why I like White Widow and the few other Jim Lehrer books is because they have that human component of wickedness/evil that lies just beneath the surface of things that we'd rather not talk or write about.
