Spring 1981: Vietnam is over, but the echoes linger at a remote U.S. Army post infected by a decade of moral breakdown.
As the military and society struggle to right themselves, a savage murder raises an urgent question: Who killed Lieutenant Jessie Lamoureaux?
Stunning, promiscuous, and secretive, Lamoureaux drew legions of lovers - and enemies. Was her killer the Green Beret she betrayed? The captain whose marriage she shattered? A senior officer hoping to save her from herself? A female sergeant fighting for dignity in a man's world? Or a fellow lieutenant with a secret of his own?
A haunted journey leads from a beach in Mexico to mayhem in Iran -- then back to a country searching for its soul...and a brutal murderer.
"Vividly drawn and multidimensional characters...A hugely entertaining tale."
