DUTY TO INVESTIGATE is New Military Thriller
by BWW News Desk - July 01, 2013
In the appropriately titled 'Duty to Investigate,' Stone draws on his own experience as a Marine reservist called to active duty for service in Iraq to craft a page-turner of a story that sets up a mass murder of civilians during a Marine Corps combat operation and then follows his protagonist through a complicated web of political intrigue and combat action to cut through the fog of war in an effort to determine who really did the killing. Was it a rogue Marine under intense combat pressure? Or was it terrorists setting the Americans up for an international scandal? Stone weaves his way through this convoluted set-up with bold authority based on his personal experience as a Marine Corps lawyer and the details painted for readers evoke an authentic sense of the confusion and frustration faced by combatants on both sides in the Iraq War.
