Don Winslow of the Navy #17

Don Winslow draws escort duty for a troupe of entertainers heading to a dangerous jungle outpost—a mission that quickly spirals into enemy territory when the group is captured by Japanese forces. With the Marines' safety hanging in the balance and their captors planning a surprise attack, Don and his companions must find a way to turn the tables before darkness falls. It's a high-stakes gamble where the only weapon might be quick thinking and a little theatrical misdirection.

When one of their Marine barracks-mates is found brutally beaten and mumbling about Japanese agents, Don Winslow and Red Pennington are assigned to go undercover among the troops to uncover a traitor in their midst. Their investigation into a mysterious warehouse operation and a ring of suspicious "Joes" leads them straight into a dangerous confrontation—but the truth behind the attack may be far simpler, and stranger, than anyone suspected.
