"Heart of War" by Lucian K. Truscott IV three start
This is a nice little murder mystery set at Fort Benning. The story involves an extremely ambitious general with eyes on being the next Chief of Staff, a woman lawyer major with the Judge Advocate General's office, and her enlisted (sergeant) boyfriend. The book moves right along and keeps the reader interested. The reader learns about Army criminal investigation procedures. Truscott winds it up with a great surprise ending.
