About the Book

The McCarrans and the Gallaghers, two families with deep ties to the military, have been close for decades, ever since Anthony McCarran—now one of the army’s most distinguished generals—became best friends with Jack Gallagher, his fellow West Pointer who was later killed in Vietnam. Now a new generation of soldiers is fighting on a distant battlefield, and Lt. Brian McCarran, the general’s son, has recently returned from a harrowing tour in Iraq. Traumatized by his war-time experiences, Brian depends on his lifelong friendship with Kate Gallagher, Jack Gallagher’s daughter, who also happens to be married to Brian’s commanding officer in Iraq, Capt. Joe D’Abruzzo. But Kate is dealing with trauma of her own: since coming home, D’Abruzzo seems a changed man, and lately he’s become paranoid and abusive. Tragedy strikes when Brian shoots and kills D’Abruzzo on their army post in Virginia. Brian immediately confesses but claims self-defense—D’Abruzzo, a black-belt martial artist, came to his quarters, accused him of having an affair with Kate, and attacked him. Or so Brian says, and now Capt. Paul Terry, one of the army’s most accomplished young lawyers, will defend him in a high-profile court martial. Assisting Terry is Meg McCarran, Brian’s sister, a brilliant and beautiful attorney who leaves her practice in California to dedicate herself to saving her brother. Before the case is over, Terry will learn that families, like war, can break the sturdiest of souls.

Review :
"A powerful and devastating study of war and its aftermath on those who fight... Patterson long ago established himself as one of the nation's best writers of serious thrillers, and his latest novel burnishes his reputation as the thinking reader's best friend."--Richmond Times-Dispatch "Bestseller Patterson explores the concept of honor--and how men and women can sometimes embody and sometimes blacken this lofty concept--in this riveting legal thriller.... Superior genre fiction from a writer at the top of his game."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Patterson's insights into PTSD are fascinating but never interrupt the story's flow to its explosive ending, and his courtroom drama is as intensely engaging as the most action-filled thrillers."--Library Journal (starred review) "Patterson runs a taut ship in the courtroom, and his crafty dissection of the problems of traumatized veterans returning home will have older readers fondly recalling Anatomy of a Murder."--Kirkus Reviews "In The Name of Honor is an absolute humdinger of a murder mystery, with a you-will-never-guess twist that I greeted with pure envy. This is a beautifully crafted book that offers not merely unrelenting suspense, but a close look at the dysfunctions of military justice and of one particular family."--Scott Turow "A compelling and gripping read. Patterson explores the very real pressures of the loyalty, honor, and duty that accompany military service. It's a thriller that strikes at the heart of every soldier."--Senator John McCain "As always, Richard North Patterson demonstrates an uncanny knack for selecting a topic as hot as tomorrow's headlines, but the pleasures of this book far transcend its gripping and timely subject. In the Name of Honor is a family saga, a courtroom drama, and also a rare kind of love story. There is romance, of course, but also an exploration of other kinds of love--of country, comrades, ideas. This is Patterson's best book yet."--Geraldine Brooks "N
