About this listen
Stung by past scandals, the Navy moves to control the investigation by appointing one of their own, Commander Dan Collins, to take charge of it. Dan's deputy investigator will be civilian Grace Ellen Snow from the NIS (Naval Investigative Service), the organization that should have been in control of the investigation.
Dan and Grace make a connection between this murder, the death of the man's sister (also a Navy lieutenant), and a top Naval officer, only to have the chain-of-command curtain come down around their investigation. Convinced they can uncover those responsible for the murders, they secretly continue their investigation - a search that brings them to the attention of a cunning, remorseless, and relentless man.

A behind-the-scenes operator at the CIA, Wallace was integral to the agency's secret war against China's national intelligence service, which infiltrates government offices, major businesses, and systems crucial to our security. Wallace had severely damaged China's Washington spy ring with a devastating ruse, a so-called "black swan", in which a deep-undercover female agent targeted and destroyed a key Chinese official. Now, Wallace's mysterious death suggests that the CIA itself has been compromised and that China has someone inside the agency.

Deuterman writes as good a murder mystery as he does naval warfare adventures. The narrative performance was excellent too.

It was difficult to stop listening
This book has so many twists and turns. it kept me on my feet.
At each change of direction I knew where the book was headed - NOT.
A lot of books allow you to see the end early and then follow the natural progression to the end. Not so this book.
This is not the first Deutermann novel I've listened to and it won't be the last. I hope this retired naval officer keeps turning them out because I'm ready to keep listening.

Another Engrossing Novel by Excellent Author
Truly enjoyed this book although there are a number of factual errors about Saigon - Tan San Nhut Air Base during Vietnam War. There were no MPs on Air Base; Army Provost Marshal was in Saigon; 716th MP Battalion furnished MP duty officers for Saigon. Others minor historical errors vis a vis Army commissioning and promotions during that era did not diminish wonderful storytelling.
I was with 716th MPs circa ‘67-68 as 1st lieutenant—commissioned through Infantry OCS.

Good Story But Not As Good As WW II Stories
A good story, perhaps a little over-described, but still good. Not wild about the dramatic emphasis the reader gives to dialogue. He’s over-dramatic! The author is not wild about Executive Assistants (EAs), the ranking officers who are the administrative assistants to the Admirals of the U.S. Navy in D.C. He calls them “horse holders.” Some of the plot of this story involves the dark background machinations of EAs.

Not What I Expected
Maybe the book gets less mired in the politics (and maybe I’m blasted out by our election) but this book never caught my mind up like his other WWII and Vietnam books. I returned it after about 3 hours of trying. I got frustrated and said “no more”.

can't listen
I wish publishers would oversee their narrator's use of voice changes. It is amateurish acting. Some in this book are harsh, others silly-sounding like 'marbles in mouth'. I had to stop listening to the book, though I like the author, P.T. Deutermann, very much.

Deutermans books are great
If one were into the Washington scene, this one might be also. As it is, I find it horrible. I'd love to return the book, but can only see half of the Audible screen.
