Acts of Honor by Vicki Hinze

From the Publisher

In a secret military hospital, five mentally shattered officers hold the key to dangerous secrets. A specialist in post-traumatic stress syndrome, Dr. Sara West becomes a pawn in a an undercover mission. Told that she will uncover answers to the mystery of her brother in law's disappearance, Sara attempts to find out what happened to these soldiers, aware that she's entering a world where knowing too much can be fatal.

Why do these men fear the color white? Why do they keep repeating the phrase "I wept"? As she is drawn to one remarkable patient she calls Joe, the shocking truth is exposed as his memory begins to return. And not even this man who she is starting to love, can stop her--or save her--from committing an act that will either save millions of lives...or condemn her to the darkest hell imaginable.

Publishers Weekly

A lengthy stint as an Air Force wife has provided Hinze (Shades of Gray; Duplicity) with plenty of fuel for her edgy military-themed romances. Her latest romantic thriller centers around a civilian psychologist, Dr. Sara West, who has been coerced into military duty. Acting undercover as an Air Force major, Sara enters a maximum security facility in Mississippi to direct a short-term research project on five patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. All the patients are men, and all have been reduced to a catatonic state, each one repeatedly uttering the phrase "I wept." It's Sara's job to find out what has happened to them. She's drawn to one patient she calls Joe, a man who worked as a Shadow Watcher (a spy who spies on spies). As Sara helps Joe heal, she finds herself falling in love; through him she learns that "I wept" is an acronym for a place more horrible than the human mind can endure. Gripping and adrenaline-charged, Hinze's plot will appeal to fans who like their suspense razor sharp. (Dec.) Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
