"A solid men's adventure yarn with loving descriptions of cars and their capabilities, and action scenes full of derring-do" from the bestselling author ( Publishers Weekly).
"Truscott, author of Army Blue and Dress Gray, has the makings of another hit here in this novel of old-fashioned honor and courage up against raw, violent political power. Major Sam Butterfield, en route to his new base in Kentucky, sees a man being savagely beaten and charges to the rescue. He ends up over his head in hot water; the man he rescued is blackmailing the political boss of southern Illinois, and Sam has accidentally been handed the evidence. When a friend who helps him escape is murdered, Sam, together with pool shark Johnny Gee and an old girlfriend in the governor's office, stalks the politician to get evidence that will put him away forever." — Library Journal

Lucian K. Truscott IV was born to Second Lt. Lucian K. Truscott III and Anne Harloe Truscott on April 11, 1947, in Fukuoka, Japan, the first baby born to American parents in Japan after the war. Mr. Truscott is a fourth-generation army veteran and the fifth great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson. His father was the son of Gen. Lucian K. Truscott Jr., commander (successively) of the Ninth Regimental Combat Team, the Third Infantry Division (famous as Audie Murphy's division), the Sixth Corps, the Fifth Army, and the Third Army, all during World War II. After the war, Gen. Truscott was head of the CIA in Europe from 1951 to 1955. After his return from Europe, Gen. Truscott became inspector general and deputy director of the CIA, and a special advisor on intelligence to President Eisenhower.
Truscott grew up in the army, living over the years in more than ten states, four foreign countries, and twenty-seven different houses or apartments by the time he was eighteen. In 1965, he entered West Point via an appointment from Patsy T. Mink, Democrat of Hawaii, where the family had long ago established residency. He graduated after what might be called a checkered career. In May 1970, he found himself in a dispute with the army over an article he wrote for the Village Voice about the rampant yet un-acknowledged problem of heroin abuse in the army—specifically, in the Fifth Mechanized Infantry Division at Ft. Carson. The army refused permission to publish the article, and Truscott refused to withdraw it from publication. What they used to call in the army a "flap" ensued, and resignation from the army came soon thereafter.
In August 1970, Truscott went to work as a staff writer for the Village Voice. He has written for many major magazines, including the New York Times Magazine, the New Yorker, Esquire, the Nation, Harper's, Rolling Stone, Harper's Weekly, Playboy, Penthouse, Metropolitan Home, Saveur, and many others.
In 1976, Truscott wrote and published the bestselling novel Dress Gray, which was later produced as an NBC miniseries, scripted by Gore Vidal, in 1986. After Dress Gray, Truscott wrote the bestseller Army Blue and published a third novel, Rules of the Road, in 1990. Truscott's fourth novel, Heart of War, was published in June 1997. His fifth novel, Full Dress Gray, published in July 1998, is the long-awaited sequel to his first novel.
