The General's Daughter [With Earbuds] Book

I can't recall the first time I read this book but I know I have read it in hardback, paperback and now Kindle. And it is like being wrapped up in a soft warm blanket, okay a creepy blanket.

This is a brilliant police procedural set on a military base in America in the early 90s. Warrant Officer Paul Bremmer is already at the base investigating a plot to illegally sell military arms to baddies. He is called to a scene of rape / murder which is terrible and made worse when it is revealed the victim is the daughter of the camp's General. What seems simple gets more complex as the victim is shown to be quite a freak. But she has reasons and the General's entire staff is complicit.

Accompanied by Warrant Officer Cynthia Sunhill, a rape specialist, he peels the onion which is the camp and its personnel. The situation is further complicated by his previous relationship with Ms. Sunhill when they were stationed in Brussels.

In the preface to the book Mr. DeMille speaks of the casting of the movie. A long time ago I knew he envisioned Bruce Willis playing Paul Bremmer and ever since then I have also envisioned him as Paul Bremmer.
