In the Name Of

He'll do anything for his country...even murder.

Kate Holland finally remembers what happened during her eleven hours as a POW in Afghanistan. She wishes she didn’t. With her PTSD raging, she’s ready to walk away from the badge—until another case drags her back into the fight.

The wife of a Muslim soldier has been found stabbed and burned. Then another. And another. The brutal killings form a sinister pattern that pulls Kate and her cherished German Shepherd Ruger into a deadly hunt—this time alongside Detective Arash Moradi. Forced into partnership under fire, Kate and Arash learn that trust can be as dangerous as the killer they’re chasing.

But as Kate’s nightmares bleed into reality, even Ruger’s loyalty and Arash’s steady presence may not be enough to bring her home alive.
