Synopsis

Captain Ann Campbell is a West Point graduate, the daughter of legendary General "Fighting Joe" Campbell. She is the pride of Fort Hadley until, one morning, her body is found, naked and bound, on the firing range.

Paul Brenner is a member of the Army's elite undercover investigative unit and the man in charge of this politically explosive case. Teamed with rape specialist Cynthia Sunhill, with whom he once had a tempestuous, doomed affair, Brenner is about to learn just how many people were sexually, emotionally, and dangerously involved with the Army's "golden girl." And how the neatly pressed uniforms and honor codes of the military hide a corruption as rank as Ann Campbell's shocking secret life.

I realized after I posted my review of Night Fall by this author, that I needed to also share this review. After all, who didn’t see this book’s adaptation movie with John Travolta (1999)? Okay, well, if you didn’t, this might be an interesting time to consider doing so. And if you might be concerne......more

Goodreads review by Corey on February 07, 2018

Excellent book! Kept me up almost past midnight while reading every night, I just couldn't put it down! It was a great who-done-it murder mystery, but also very true to life, with what goes on behind closed doors in the Military.
