Only one thing they know for sure. One of them is the murderer…
Synopsis / Flap text:
They were young. Hardly men at the time. Their mission: highly classified. To them it was no more than an adventure. But reality was harsh and relentless. Terrible doubts assailed them. Even though the army hushed it all up professionally, these men would never forget. They shared a secret. A secret they would hide for the outer world. That was twenty years ago.
Now someone is brutally murdering them one by one. The offender systematically eliminates the former members of their team. The only way to survive is to cooperate. After all these years they have to rely on each other again. Have to trust each other again. They have to find the assassin, before he will murder them. Only one thing they know for sure. One of them is the murderer…
Inspiration:
During a journey to Costa Rica, I visited Golfito. That was more than twenty years ago. The heat really was unbearable, my travel buddy and I only stayed for two or three days instead of the week we had planned to stay.
There was a restaurant next to our hotel.
And there was a bar on the other side.
And the police raid really did happen.
But, 'Concealed' remains fiction. I mixed up reality, news paper articles and documentaries, with events I made up myself. Nevertheless, a lot of this story is true and needs to be told and revealed. Unfortunately...
I travelled through Costa Rica in 1992 with my friend Kees de Jong. No surprise you will find his name in this story as well (mind you: anglisized as 'Casey Deyoung'). Also read: 'Close to the Edge'; another story based on this journey.
The other characters are made up, or, in some cases combinations of people's names: Michael Visione is based on the first name of my friend, the painter and cineast, Michael Lasoff; the last name actually belongs to his buddy, and also a visual artist, Mark Visione.
