A HENIOUS CRIME. A SHOCKING SECRET. A TERRIFYING DISCOVERY There are things that Julianna Casey has seen that will forever fuel her nightmares. Things she cannot unsee. "High Octane...intelligent, complex, suspenseful." -Publishers Weekly NCIS Agents Lawson Pacheco and Mia Patel arrive first at the scene of a grisly homicide: the murders of Julianna's parents and younger sisters while she was out with friends. On the surface, it appears as if Julianna's father, Navy Commander John Casey butchered his wife and daughters before eating his gun-suggesting this to be a tragic case of a PTSD-triggered murder-suicide. But is it? Commander Casey had recently blown the whistle on his superior officers for war crimes committed three years before in Syria-crimes that Casey claimed the Navy tried to cover up. When an unexpected discovery in the forensics work challenges the official Navy report, Law, Mia, and Julianna are propelled into the netherworld of the opium trade, sex trafficking, and corruption in the ranks that costs them and those they love. But they won't stop digging-they can't stop-even when the answers threaten to consume them . . .
