Synopsis:

Here is an intriguing and sophisticated murder mystery of an upstanding military officer – the base commander's daughter – who's been leading an unsavory double life.

When a professional military woman with a pristine reputation is found raped and murdered, a preliminary search turns up certain paraphernalia, and sex toys that point to a scandal of major proportions, The chief investigator is reluctant to take the case when he learns that his partner will be a woman with whom he had a tempestuous affair and an unpleasant parting. But duty calls and intrigue begins when they learn that several top-level people may have been involved with the "golden girl" – and many have wanted her dead.

It's Nelson DeMille at his best – exciting, suspenseful and highly provocative.
