A female lawyer for the JAG must uncover the truth behind a brutal murder.Lieutenant Sheila Worthy has been viciously slain, and it's up to Major Kara Guidry, the top lawyer in the Judge Advocate General's office, to track down her killer. But Guidry finds she must tread lightly. Rumors have linked the dead lieutenant to General William Beckwith, who was Kara's instructor at West Point and is now on the short list to become the Army's next Chief of Staff. Guidry must also contend with Beckwith's rivals, who would like nothing more than to see the general discredited. As Beckwith pressures Kara for a fast solution, she soon uncovers a web of secrecy that obscures the truth and puts her career on the line.
