HT2 Tyler West is a short-timer only a few weeks from transfer when he finds himself in the middle of a crisis aboard the USS Miller. The year is 1985, and the Navy fast-frigate USS Miller is battling a raging hurricane in the Caribbean Sea. At the storm's peak in the late hours of night, a crackle from the 1MC speakers awaken Tyler to a cruel reality; a fellow shipmate has been brutally murdered. Lieutenant Bruce Orton, not exactly Tyler's favorite officer, lays dead, and a killer has slipped into hiding amongst the crew. The ship goes into lockdown, and while his comrades are confined to their berthing compartments Tyler and his closest friend Levon Smithe are given the task to find evidence that will lead to the identity of Orton's killer. Tyler begins to piece together more than he bargained for. It does not take Tyler long to discover that the officers have strong suspicions about the identity of Orton's killer and that they have the murderer locked away with a group of unsuspecting men - Tyler's bunkmates in R-Division - who are quickly becoming targets. In this remarkable thriller, inspired by the actual USS Miller murder of 1985, Tyler West must rush to piece together which of his friends is Orton's killer before he strikes again.
