Product Description
From Amazon
The book has three heroes: Paul Brenner and Cynthia Sunhill of the army's Criminal Investigation Division and Capt. Ann Campbell, found dead with her underpants around her neck on the firing range at Fort Hadley, Georgia. Brenner and Sunhill are lowly warrant officers, but as investigators they can theoretically arrest their superiors--as long as their case is airtight. This ups the tension level, as does the fact that Brenner and Sunhill once had an adulterous affair.
The chief problem, though, is too many suspects. Capt. Campbell, the daughter of the general who runs the base, is literally a poster woman for the New Army, a West Point grad and Gulf War hero who posed in a life-size recruitment poster. It's pinned up on her basement wall--and when the sleuths touch the poster it swings back to reveal a hidden playroom stocked with sex toys and videos of many army guys in pig masks and the captain in high heels. She was a high-IQ "two percenter"--and Brenner finds that two percenters often wind up on his desk as homicide suspects. Why is this one a victim? It has something to do with the collected works of Nietzsche on her bookshelf, corruption in high places, and the rag and bone shop of the heart.
This is one racy read, and it crackles with authenticity. DeMille is a Vietnam veteran who does for military justice what John Grisham does for civilians. --Tim Appelo

Terriffic read,

This review is from: The General's Daughter (Mass Market Paperback)
I had seen the movie several times and enjoyed it enough to read the book. The book is better. Hard to believe. The main character has charm and yet is cynical and sarcastic. My favorite type of character. He's Paul Brenner and a wonderful character to get to know. The General's daughter is killed on post and the story resolves around her hidden life and the desire to find her killer. All the while dealing with Army regulations and rules. This book is full of mystery and lies. Amazing to see how they solve it. A definite five star recommendation.

This review is from: The General's Daughter (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a non-fiction writer (author of "Love Is Not A Game") but I enjoy a good mystery. Every Nelson DeMille book I've read has been great. I look for his name when I go to the bookstore. He is insightful, funny, and not afraid of high sexual fantasy. I read "The General's Daughter" recently on a long plane flight, and it made the time go quickly.

I could not put the book down.....,,
By Melanie (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The General's Daughter (Mass Market Paperback)
I am so glad that I read this book before I saw the movie, as it was so much better. The story is about the body of a girl who is found bound and naked on the firing range of an army base. To make matters worse she is the daughter of The General. The case is passed on to Paul Brenner and Cynthia Sunhill who have to try and solve it without going outside of the armies rules and regulations. This becomes quite difficult when they stumble across corruption and the daughters secret life. The book moves at a fast pace after the initial character building and kept me hanging on every word. Great mystery Novel.
