While mourning the death of his father, journalist Stewart Dubin decides to research the life of a man he had always respected, always admired but possibly never quite knew. As a young idealistic lawyer during the last months of World War II, David Dubin was sent to the European Front – ostensibly to bring charges against an American Hero, Robert Martin, who had suddenly and inexplicably gone local. No longer following his superiors’ orders, Martin has become a liability and General Rollie Tweedle wants him neutralised. But as Dubin learns more about Martin and the demons possessing him, he finds himself falling in love  with Martin’s enigmatic ex-mistress – a brave yet dangerously angry woman who will do anything to protect her comrade-in-arms. Stewart discovers his father’s journal and learns of his incredible courage in the face of battle and the secret he had died protecting.
