An American officer has been murdered on the base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and his soon-to-be-accused killer, the dead man’ s wife, wants Miami criminal attorney Jack Swyteck to represent her. Swyteck knows nothing about military law, and he can sense that thehypnotically beautiful Lindsey Hart isa liar, a blackmailer, and possibly worse. But if he doesn’ t agree to defend her, he will never get to see his biological son, a child Swyteck never knew existed. Taking on the might of the U. S. military legal machine on hostile foreign soil could prove to be far more than a bad career move, because the shocking, sordid truth will take no prisoners. And no one, especially Jack Swyteck, will escape unscathed.
