In the fourth Donald Youngblood mystery, more than a year has passed since Don closed the file on the Three Devils case. His personal life is trending upward, his business is booming, and no one has come to him with a case likely to get him killed. All of that changes when Jessica Crane walks into Don’s office, asking him to look into the apparent heart-attack death of her husband.

Don is convinced that Mrs. Crane’s request is just the delusion of a grieving widow, but as he goes through the motions of his investigations, he uncovers a mysterious note and a 20-year old photograph of a group of soldiers known as the Southside Seven. Don soon thinks the grieving widow might be on to something.

The Silver Star, a soldier with a stress problem, an Army Ranger black ops mission gone wrong, a mysterious assassin, and a missing vial are all pieces to the puzzle that Don races to fit together before anyone else dies. In the desert of New Mexico, the bayou country of Louisiana, the mean streets of Memphis, and small towns in South Carolina and Kentucky, a haunting mystery unfolds as Donald Youngblood uncovers a startling secret from Desert Storm that haunted the seven men who shared it.
