A battalion of Serbs has been senselessly murdered in Kosovo, and the Green Berets stand accused. Now, Major Sean Drummond, a top Army lawyer, is assigned to investigate this unspeakable atrocity. But of course, no one saw anything. Drummond gets consistently suspicious depositions from all of the Green Berets: Supposedly pursued by Serb soldiers, they left the engagement with wounded Serbs firing at them, and no one can explain the number of deaths. Teamed with a straight-laced prosecutor and a sexy defense attorney, Drummond probes further, but forces continue to hide the truth. Soon a reporter is found dead, Drummond suspects there's a traitor on his team, and everyone from the CIA to the president may be involved in a cover-up that could threaten the stability of the most powerful nation in the world.

      Brian Haig, son of former secretary of state Alexander Haig, takes aim at the bestseller lists with Secret Sanction, a military/legal thriller set against the backdrop of the Bosnian conflict. Hotshot army lawyer Sean Drummond is assigned to investigate the massacre of 35 Serbian soldiers, apparently by a team of Green Berets. He encounters resistance from the brass right away and the deeper he digs, the worse it gets. Sexual tension with army defense attorney Lisa Morrow and the execution-style death of a reporter who's covering the case add to the high-stakes excitement. If blurbs by Jack Higgins and Jeffery Deaver are any indication, this one's going to be a hit.

      This first novel by Brian Haig, military strategist and son of former Secretary of State Alexander Haig, paints a picture of conspiracy in Bosnia. Military attorney Sean Drummond is assigned to probe the case of a U.S. Special Forces team accused of massacring 35 enemy soldiers. Jack Rubenstein reads the novel, told in the first person through Drummond's eyes, with a smart-alecky bravado and keen intelligence that give way to doubts as the case takes surprising turns. As character and situation prove more complicated than first indicated, Rubenstein gives both a touch of humanity that goes well with the suspense. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
