Lieutenant Buck Buchanon, Special Operations, is as tough as they come. But, on his last covert mission, he sustained a severe leg wound from an I.E.D.. And, worse, because of his questionable leadership, two of his platoon members were killed. Charged with Criminally Negligent Manslaughter under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 119, he was subject to a General Courts-Martial..
And, if this dark episode in his life wasn't enough, he was still haunted by the unsolved murder of his wife, Kate, by members of a terrorist cell.
His move to Berlin to accept a contract security assignment didn't help either … a bomb blast, and death of a friend only intensified his nightmares throwing him into a spiraling tail spin.
His return to the United States, and a move into an old stone mansion in a new town to begin a fresh chapter in his life, soon leads to another life-threatening challenge. His accidental discovery of an old and mysterious note leads Buck and his father on another desperate adventure.
