The year was 1943. Steve Daniels was a pilot in the U.S. Army Air Corps, on loan to the British, flying a reconnaissance mission over occupied France. After being shot down, he had to make his way back to England with what could prove to be a very important reel of film taped to his chest. He had been wounded, so he was grounded and sent back to the States to the Air Cadet Base in San Antonio, Texas to teach. Plagued by nightmares stemming from his wartime experiences, he was easy pickings for a woman like his commander’s wife—beautiful, restless, and the wrong kind of woman for him. What happened when they got together would be nothing less than murder.
