While his doctoring days are over, his keen attention to detail is not—and when he meets a young private who looks years too young to be fighting a war, he wonders what secrets young Hudson is hiding. But as the war draws to an end and one of Justice’s fellow soldiers is gunned down in the street, a more personal war is begun, with consequences farther-reaching than Justice or Eamon could ever have imagined. They must find the killer and bring them to justice, before Justice becomes their next target. less
