  A Vietnam era Catch-22 by the author of The Company 
   
   
   
  Robert Littell is often compared to John le Carre, Alan Furst, and Len Deighton. But in Sweet Reason, this master of the spy genre takes a dramatic departure to brilliantly satirize career militarists and other absurdities of war. 
   
   
   
  Somewhere off the coast of Southeast Asia, the U.S.S. Eugene F. Ebersole—a rusted World War II relic whose best days are far past—patrols the waters on a mission to protect American values in this suddenly-not-so-Cold War. The decrepit destroyer's mission is to apprehend or annihilate anything suspicious, but someone on board is preaching peace and the ship's motley crew is not quite as motivated as its ambitious commander.

  A mysterious symbol connects two disappearances across time. 
  Security specialist Gavin Garrison becomes concerned when his sister Cate joins an exclusive college sorority with suspicious recruitment tactics and cryptic rituals. While investigating, he discovers a strange symbol that links the organization to another case—the five-year-old disappearance of a businessman in northeastern Pennsylvania. 
  Park ranger Samantha Cleveland has spent years wondering what happened to her uncle Richard, who vanished without a trace while negotiating gas leases near Ricketts Glen State Park. When she finds the same mysterious emblem among her uncle's belongings that Gavin is investigating, their paths collide. 
  As Gavin and Samantha reluctantly join forces, they uncover evidence of the Continental Alliance—a secretive society dating back to the 18th century with unknown but potentially deadly objectives. When a federal judge's daughter disappears and her last cellphone ping places her near Samantha's jurisdiction, the stakes rise dramatically. 
  With Gavin's sister becoming increasingly entangled in the sorority's web and someone willing to eliminate anyone who gets too close to the truth, they race against time to expose a conspiracy spanning generations. In the shadow of Ricketts Glen's breathtaking waterfalls, danger lurks behind the area's serene beauty, hiding grave secrets that powerful people will kill to protect. 
  Perfect for fans of faith-based thrillers where protective instincts, cold cases, and romantic tension intertwine with deadly conspiracy.
