Arthur Spevak

Norse god-like Telly Brensen grows up longing for his father, a naval pilot who disappears late in 1945. After matters of honor go badly and send Telly to the brink of despair, he gets a tip about his father and heads off to Borneo, enlisting the backup of an old school mate, an uproarious misfit named Arthur Spevak. Then Telly vanishes, and Spevak picks up the trail, unable to imagine what he will become.
