Synopsis

Revere Falk is an FBI interrogator who believes it is possible to get more from a terrorist suspect by treating him decently than by using more 'robust' methods. He lives his life by a certain code of honour. This puts him in a minority at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, but Falk is happy enough getting on with his job and enjoying what could turn out to be a serious relationship with Captain Pam Cobb. Certainly, when the body of a US soldier is found under mysterious circumstances on the beach, and a high-ranking investigative team is flown in, Falk is above suspicion. But Falk has a secret, a secret he had hoped was dead and buried. Now it is reaching out from his past, to the sodium-lit cell blocks and stifling humidity of this claustrophobic rumour-mill of a community, and its implications are greater than he could ever have imagined.
