β¦ Synopsis
A general dies under suspicious circumstances before he is about to testify about a controversial government operation and Butch Karp is on the case in this exciting installment to Robert K. Tanenbaum's bestselling series.
When a decorated American general and the newly appointed director of counterterrorism is murdered, Butch Karp finds himself battling a heavyweight opponent: the US government. Allegedly, he was killed by a jealous mistress in an elegant NYC boutique hotel, but his death came just a few days before the general was to testify before a congressional committee on a highly controversial "Chechnyan Affair." There are rumors that the general was going to deviate from the accepted version of events, and that the government may have had something to do with his deathβto detract from their own mistakes. Can Karp find the mistress as well as the Chechnyan terrorists involved in the affair...and expose the government cover-up?
Their paths will come...
