Lahn's Edge — Chuck Driskell

Army Sergeant Patrick Lacher is a fully-recovered Purple Heart recipient. He's a model soldier, possessing a genius IQ and dashing good looks. He's also rumored to have family money back in Texas--hence his M-series BMW, his high-end apartment and his stable of alluring women. Patrick has it all. He has a dark secret, too. Unknown to his unit, golden boy Patrick Lacher is a thief. He's concocted a seemingly foolproof method for stealing and selling Army fuel. There's just one flaw in his scheme: a beautiful, equally-intelligent young criminal named Rebekka. She has the looks of a runway model and the training of a professional psychiatrist. Her mission: entrap Patrick using her psychological and sensual talents. Combining psychological suspense, murder mystery and a sexually charged undercurrent, LAHN'S EDGE is a refreshing take on nouveau-noir espionage suspense.
