In the Name of Honor
(Audiobook)

Read by John Bedford Lloyd

The McCarrans and the Gallaghers, two military families, have been close for decades, ever since Anthony McCarran - one of the army's most distinguished generals - became best friends with Jack Gallagher, a fellow West Pointer who was later killed in Vietnam. Now a generation of soldiers faces combat, and Lieutenant Brian McCarran, the general's son, has returned from a harrowing tour in Iraq. Traumatized by wartime experiences he will not reveal, Brian depends on his lifelong freindship with Kate Gallagher, Jack's daughter, who is married to Brian's commanding officer in Iraq, Captain Jo D'Abruzzo. But since coming home, D'Abruzzo also seems changed by the expriences he and Brian shared - he's become secretive and remote. Tragedy strikes when Brian shoots and kills D'Abruzzo on their army post in Virginia. Brian claims self-defense, and Kate supports Brian, saying that her husband had become violent and abusive. But Brian and Kate have secrets of their own, and now Captain Paul Terry will defend Brian in a high-profile court- martial. Terry's co-counsel is Meg McCarran, Brian's sister, a brilliant and beautiful attorney who left her practice in San Francisco to help save her brother. Before the case is over, Terry will become deeply entwined with Meg and the McCarrans - and learn that families, like war, can break the sturdiest of souls.
