In a quiet Southern military town, silence is survival. When Marine Sergeant Gary Carpenter is found murdered, suspicion falls immediately on his Japanese wife, Keiko. With blood on her hands and no memory of what happened, her fate seems certain. But Anna Gamon sees what others choose to ignore. Having lived through violence herself, Anna recognizes the truth behind Keiko’s fear—and knows this is not a simple crime. As she pushes her husband Phillip to investigate, they uncover evidence that contradicts the official story and points to a past that refuses to stay buried. In a town determined to close the case quickly, pursuing the truth may cost more than either of them expected. Because some acts are not crimes of passion. They are acts of judgment.
