W P Armstrong presents a narrative where Major Walt Ransom investigates murders of American soldiers in Iraq after the Desert Storm cease fire.

This work blends military thriller elements with supernatural horror tropes. It draws on historical periods involving the Third Reich and the aftermath of the Gulf War conflict.
