As a personal aide to General Eisenhower, he's accustomed to the chaos of war, but this time the stakes are higher than ever.

As he untangles the threads of deception, readers are drawn into a gripping narrative that intertwines personal struggles with historical events.
James R. Benn masterfully captures the atmosphere of the time, delivering a compelling mystery enriched with character depth and historical authenticity. As the pages turn, the reader is left pondering not only the resolution of the case but also the cost of war on humanity itself.
