Description

Secret Justice is James W. Huston's most exciting thriller yet. Lieutenant Kent 'Rat' Rathman is back. In the middle of the desert, in the dead of night, Lieutenant Rathman parachutes with his Special Forces team into Sudan, where an arms merchant is selling weapons to Wahamed Duar, the world's most wanted man in the ongoing War on terrorism. Duar escapes, but a key member of his organisation is captured. Determined to find Duar, Rat uses questionable means of persuasion to uncover his whereabouts and the information leads to Duar's capture. But the man he brutally interrogated later dies as a result on a US Navy ship. Washington is thrilled with Duar's capture, but a slick European lawyer with the International Criminal Court asserts that Rat violated international law and fundamental human rights. Rat is arrested and put on trial for torturing a prisoner and violating the Geneva Convention. As he goes on trial for war crimes, Wahamed Duar begins his own trial, the first major tribunal conducted by the military. Duar may be a prisoner, but he still has big plans...
