When Catalina Hernandez, a lady friend from Ethan's past, requests his help with a case in her new position as a JAG, his interest is piqued. There's been a seemingly straightforward murder on a ship at Naval Station Mayport, but there's something awry, something that needs Ethan Marston's top-notch skills to uncover.
And what they find is something far more insidious than they originally expects. Not only is the accused innocent, but the murder itself is just the precursor to a far greater set of crimes against the United States. It's up to Ethan to cut to the heart of this mystery before it's too late not just for him, but for the entire country!
