Book description
John Puller is a former war hero and now the best military investigator
in the U. S. Army’s Criminal Investigative Division. He is a loner with
few possessions by preference, but he has an indomitable spirit and an
unstoppable determination for finding the truth. His father was the most
decorated U. S. Marine in history, but now resides in a nursing home far
from his battlefield glory. Puller’s older brother, also a military vet,
is serving a life sentence in Leavenworth Penitentiary.
Puller is called out to a remote, rural area far from any military
outpost to investigate into the brutal murder of a family in their home.
The dead husband was in the army and the wife worked for a Pentagon
contractor.
The local homicide detective, a woman with personal demons of her own,
clashes with Puller over the investigation. What neither of them knows
is what is waiting for them across the street from the murdered family’s
home. It is something that will turn an already complicated case on its
head. As Puller digs through deception after red herring, he realizes
that absolutely nothing, and nobody, he’s so far seen in this small
town, are what they seem. He is truly one man against an overwhelming
force.
