Reviews

Max Rydal of the British Army’s Special Investigation Branch is back in another exciting military mystery. Army helicopter pilot Sam Collier and his wife, Margot, are the ideal couple—handsome, wealthy, and deeply in love. Although Margot’s father, a senior military man, has ensured Sam’s quick rise through the ranks, Sam has also gained street cred among his colleagues and a medal from the queen for carrying out a daring rescue of the wounded in Basra. So it’s a shock to Max when Margot turns up at SIB headquarters, asking him to find out who’s behind a hate campaign against her husband. Max immediately suspects the culprits are men from Collier’s battalion who resent Sam’s golden-boy image, but he finds no evidence. Only after Max realizes that there is more to the beautiful couple than what first appears is he able to unravel the disturbing truth. Solid writing, authentic details of military life, plenty of action, and a sensible, everyman hero make this an enjoyable new entry in an always-reliable series. --Emily Melton
