4.0

Somewhere between Afghanistan and Georgia, USA, lies the reason why four Army Rangers apparently killed all inhabitants, including a two year old, of The Summer House.  A team of military crime investigators needs to find out what happened.  A fast-paced action thriller written in classic Patterson style.  Yes, Patterson tends to be a bit overly patriotic and melodramatic when dealing with matters concerning the military or federal services, but apart from that, it is a cracking novel, full of well-written twists and turns.
