One crime scene. Two deadly secrets. Forty-eight hours of total isolation.

In the brutal winter of 2013, in Fallingbostel, Germany, six feet of snow has done more than just bury the Royal Military Police station, it has cut off all backup. When a young soldier is found dead in his room, Staff Sergeant Henry Knox is the only man on the ground to handle the investigation.

The victim, Corporal John Reynolds, was the unit’s recent Army Sports lottery winner. At first glance, it looks like a simple case of greed turned lethal. But as Knox and a local SOCO navigate the icy silence of a regiment closing ranks, they uncover a web of blackmail reaching into the highest echelons of the unit’s leadership.

Knox quickly learns that in the Army, truth is often a casualty of reputation, where Knox must act as investigator, patrol, and judge. In a world where loyalty is a weapon and everyone has something to hide, Knox must decide how far he’s willing to overstep the mark to catch a killer before the snow thaws and the evidence vanishes forever.
