Air Force investigator Martin Collins is used to bucking the system in the name of justice. But when he is called on to investigate the torture-style slaying of Major Franklin Talbot, Collins is embroiled in the most controversial case of his career. Evidence suggests that the deadly act was a hate crime ย and that Talbot was hiding a shocking secret that may have sealed his fate. Even more shocking are the suspects: all high-ranking officers ย including Talbot's

And when he finally uncovers the devastating truth, Martin will be forced to make a fateful decision between catching a sadistic murderer ย and destroying the lives of countless innocent men.
