Duplicity

What would you do if you were a military lawyer up for promotion and you were ordered to defend a man that everyone is certain is guilty of treason, cowardice, and of murdering four of his men? What if you were ordered to close the case without knowing the truth? Would you risk life and limb to keep a man who might or might not be innocent from being branded as a coward, traitor, and murderer? These are the questions confronting Capt. Tracy Keener in Duplicity. But Tracy soon learns that little is as it seems, and truth is, at times, relative to who tells it--and why. Military attorney, Captain Tracy Keener, is forced to defend Special Operations officer, Captain Adam Burke: a man accused of leading his team into an active bombing range during a readiness exercise. All of the team members die--and Adam is rendered unconscious. He'd acted, he claims, under direct orders. But had he? His superior officers deny it, and Burke finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that involves chemical weapons--and someone used them against his team. Problem is, no one, not even his attorney, believes him. But nothing is as it seems, and no one can be trusted. Keener and Burke discover that in matters such as these, the first victim is truth. And when they insist on seeking it, they're marked for death. The proverbial clock is ticking. Who will live long enough to reveal the truth--and will it have anything to do with the truth they sought... or are they caught in a much larger web? One with the potential to kill not just them but millions of people they swore an oath to serve, defend and protect?
