Along the way, Ben finds himself looking at his new partner and remembering the wife he lost so short ago. Ben is being lied to and he knows it, but who is lying and why?
Michael James Emberger, the author, has woven a deep and passionate story. Love, romance, war, spies, and God all folded into one story in a creative manner. His characters are rich and fully developed making each betrayal painful until the ultimate plot twist at the end. The plot and character twists are well developed and delivered. The storyline moves at a steady pace; while it has moments of reflection, they are balanced with moments of action.
