Set against the heroism and heartbreak of World War II, former Army officer Ed Ruggero brilliantly captures timeless stories of ordinary people swept up in extraordinary times. Sicily, 1943. Eddie Harkins, former Philadelphia beat cop turned Military Police lieutenant, finds himself first at the scene of a murder at the US Army’s 11th Field Hospital. With help from nurse Kathleen Donnelly, once a friend and now perhaps something more, it soon becomes clear that this unit is rotten to its core. As battle lines push forward, Harkins is running out of time to find the killer before he can strike again.
