  This is a Max Rydal military mystery. The truth must be told; blinkers removed from eyes. That's the message in anonymous letters sent to Sam Collier, a helicopter pilot decorated for bravery during a daring rescue of wounded men in Afghanistan. When a campaign of determined harassment is then mounted against his wife, she turns to Special Investigation Branch for help. Max Rydal believes the tactics are born of a colleague's resentment of a man who has more than his share of good fortune. However, when Sam is savagely beaten up, the case becomes top priority. Sam claims to remember nothing of the brutal attack, but Max knows he's lying. Why? And what really happened in Afghanistan? As Max probes into the lives of this seemingly ideal couple, he discovers dark undercurrents beneath Sam's marital and professional facade which are liable to engulf him.
