The flag was only the beginning.
When a historic Union Flag carried by British soldiers during the Gulf War is stolen and deliberately burned, anger spreads quickly.
A young man is arrested.
The evidence appears convincing.
The country has already decided he is guilty.
Former Life Guardsman Daniel Ward is not so certain.
Daniel remembers the flag. More importantly, he remembers some of the men who served beneath it in 1991. When he begins asking questions about the accused man’s grandfather, Trooper Owen Harland, he discovers that the attack on the flag was never simply an act of vandalism.
It was a message.
Buried beneath more than thirty years of military records lies the story of a betrayal that began during the Gulf War and was deliberately concealed by men who later built careers in politics, intelligence, the law and even the veterans’ community.
Someone has protected that secret ever since.
Now witnesses are being intimidated, evidence is disappearing and people who once remained silent are beginning to die.
With DCI Victoria Lennox following the evidence and Rebecca Shaw KC fighting to prevent an innocent man being sacrificed for someone else’s crimes, Daniel must confront former soldiers, powerful officials and respected figures who have spent decades hiding what really happened in 1991.
But Daniel does not want revenge.
He wants something far more dangerous to those responsible.
The truth.
And this time, rank, reputation and influence will not be enough to bury it.
All Traitors Must Face Justice is a British military-political thriller about loyalty, corruption, sacrifice and the difference between vengeance and justice.
Thirty-five years ago, someone betrayed their country.
Now the past has returned to collect the evidence.
The flag was only the beginning.
