Ebook description
Nominated for both a Thriller and a Macavity, this short story is a haunting exploration of the wounds our warriors bear--not all of which are visible. For one soldier back from Iraq, the war is far from over. When his old squadmate comes to him for help, he sets off a chain of events that will lead him to question everything he believes—and just how far he’s willing to go.Tags
