For newly promoted Army lieutenant colonel Sean Drummond, his latest assignment starts off simply enough: find out if the death of one of D.C.'s most influential defense officials was murder or suicide. Most investigators would call it a cut-and-dried case, but nothing is ever that simple. Teamed with Bian Tran, the attractive Army Military Police officer investigating the case, Drummond is about to embark on a journey that takes him from the labyrinthine channels of American intelligence to the killing rooms of Iraq. None of it will be more difficult than navigating the shadowy minds and motivations of his enemies and so-called colleagues. What Drummond uncovers will make him question everything he believes in. Because the more he digs, the more he learns about the key players-American and Middle Eastern-in a war that rages bloodier every day. A war where betrayal is a daily occurrence and makes him ask: Are my loyalties to my superiors or to the American soldiers battling for their lives?

In the worst case of treason in U.S. history, General William Morrison has been charged with an array of crimes.

US-Militäranwalt Lieutenant Colonel Sean Drummond steckt tief in einem Fall, den er gar nicht haben wollte. Fünf amerikanische Soldaten sind wegen schrecklicher Gräueltaten an irakischen Gefangenen angeklagt, zu deren Bewachung sie abgestellt waren. Drummond, selbstbewusst bis zur Arroganz und für sein loses Mundwerk bekannt, vertritt eine der Angeklagten: eine aus einfachsten Verhältnissen stammende junge Frau, die entweder unbeschreiblich naiv oder zutiefst böse ist und durch deren kompromittierende Fotos der Fall zu einem internationalen Skandal geworden ist. Drummond und seine Ko-Anwältin, die überzeugte Kriegsgegnerin Katherine Carlson, kennen sich schon lange und sind nicht die allerbesten Freunde, doch für diesen Fall müssen sie ihre persönlichen Animositäten zurückstellen. Ihre Aufgabe ist es, herauszufinden, warum fünf junge Patrioten sich auf die dunkle Seite der menschlichen Natur geschlagen haben. Drummond findet Beweise dafür, dass seine Mandantin als Bauernopfer in einem geheimen Pakt verheizt werden soll, doch die führen ihn auf direktem Weg in eine Verschwörung bis in allerhöchste Regierungskreise hinein. Zu versuchen, die Blockadepolitik von CIA und US-Militärs aufzubrechen, könnte nicht nur die Regierung zu Fall bringen, sondern ihn das Leben kosten – doch Drummond gehört nicht zu denen, die sich so leicht einschüchtern lassen.
