When Lt. Brian McCarran shoots and kills his superior
officer, Capt. Joe D'Abruzzo, at Fort Bolton in northern
Virginia soon after they return from a tour in Iraq,
31-year-old Capt. Paul Terry, of the army's JAG Corps,
defends the lieutenant. That the accused is the son of
legendary Gen. Anthony McCarran, the current army chief of
staff, makes it an especially sensitive court-martial. To
complicate matters, Joe was married to Kate Gallagher, the
general's goddaughter and lifelong friend of Brian and the
McCarran family. Sparks fly after Brian's gorgeous older
attorney sister, Meg, insists on working with Paul. As
always, Patterson chooses to deal with difficult themes,
this time PTSD and the war in Iraq.
