Author of previous military thrillers such as Army Blue (LJ 8/89), Truscott now offers a thriller that is difficult to put down. The protagonist is Maj. Kara Guldry, a lawyer and West Point graduate who is assigned to investigate the murder of a of Lt. Sheila Worthy. Kara soon discovers that the young woman's lover was none other than General Beckwith, the base commander. After her friend, Lannie Love, another Beckwith mistress, is stabbed in a similar manner, Kara is convinced that Beckwith is the key to the murders. The characters are well drawn and realistic, and the author's inside knowledge of army jargon and procedure gives the novel a sense of authenticity. The significant issues of army politics, prejudice against women and homosexuals in the military, and the unfairness of regulations forbidding fraternization between officers and enlisted men and women are all explored.
