Death Followed Us Home: a thriller

Weeks before a tight-knit unit of combat vets deploys to Eastern Europe as a show of force against Putin's invasion of Ukraine, an unimaginable tragedy befalls one of the soldiers and his family. Although familiar with death on the battlefield, the cold-blooded killing of one of their own, so far from the battlefields of Afghanistan, is too much for them to take. When one platoon member accidentally discovers the killers' possible location, the temptation to avenge their brother is too great. Seasoned soldiers that they are, can they pull off the perfect murder? If so, what will be the consequences for each man personally, and for their unit as a whole? This crime thriller explores revenge and its consequences, even if it feels righteous.
