Every mission has an official story. This is what they left out.

The Debrief is a series of military thrillers about what happens after the shooting stops. Army CID Special Agent Thomas Kessler reopens operations that were closed years ago. He interviews Green Berets, Rangers, SEALs and the people who were never supposed to be there, and each case turns on a decision made in seconds that someone has carried for decades.

These aren't stories about combat. They're about the choices made before it, the consequences that follow and the truths that surface years later. Each story features a different operator and a different moral dilemma, shaped by the psychology of memory, loyalty and guilt.

If you like tactical realism, mystery investigations and moral gray zones, start with "Seven Blood Samples": six men went in, all six came back, so why did the medical examiner find seven American blood samples?
