First published 2011
A chilling battlefield recording reaches British intelligence and the American President. Twelve U.S. Army Rangers and a British medical team lie dead after a Taliban ambush in Afghanistan. The voices on the tape are mostly Afghan, but the commander speaks with an unmistakable Irish accent. Someone from their own side orchestrated the massacre. Sean Dillon gets the assignment to track down this traitor. But Dillon operates by his own rules, and he soon learns his target does too. The hunt will force Dillon into combat, but the conflict will also follow him home. As he closes in on the truth, Dillon discovers that betrayal cuts both ways and the price of treachery extends far beyond the original crime.
