For seven unsuspecting victims, death comes in the dark . . . Once a luxurious getaway for a wealthy Southern family, the Summer House in rural Sullivan, Georgia has long since fallen into disrepair and become a decaying rental property. But now it is also the scene of an horrific mass murder. Shocking evidence points to four Army Rangers recently returned from Afghanistan. Toensure that justice is done, the Army sends Major Jeremiah C ook, a war veteran and former NYPD cop, to investigate. But C ook and his team are hindered at every turn by local law enforcement, who resists the Army's intrusion. As Cook and his squad struggle to put together pieces of evidence that just won't fit, powerful forces rally against them to try to ensure that damning secrets die alongside the victims in the Summer House.
