Lieutenant Colonel Sean Drummond, a cocky US Army lawyer who’s not afraid to be blunt, finds himself up to his neck in a case he didn’t ask to take.
Five US soldiers, tasked with guarding Iraqi prisoners, stand accused of committing depraved atrocities against their charges. Drummond is assigned to defend one of them: a hardscrabble young woman who is either incredibly naive or deceptively evil…and whose incriminating photos made the case an international scandal.
Drummond and his cocounsel, the fiercely antiwar Katherine Carlson, have a complicated and combative history, but they can’t afford to get distracted now. They must determine what drove five young patriots to fall so far to the dark side of human nature. As Drummond uncovers evidence that his client has been used as a pawn in a secret strategy involving torture, he realizes that he’s caught up in a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. Breaking down the US military’s formidable stonewalling could destabilize the government and put his life at risk—but Drummond’s not the type to back away from a good fight.

The Night Crew visits dark subjects By Cheryl Stout LTC Sean Drummond has been in the U.S. Army for 17 years, is an Army attorney, and is now on loan to the Office of Special Projects of the CIA. An old acquaintance, civilian attorney Katherine Carlson, wrangles him into being cocounsel on the Al Basari military prison scandal.Five soldiers, three women and two men, have been charged with doing atrocities towards the prisoners. One of the women, an unattractive low mentality soldier, is Drummond's and Carlson's client.This military/political thriller was fast paced and raised some major ethical questions. Drummond, the main protagonist, has his own way of doing things and that's not necessarily by the book.I liked that a good part of the book took place at or near the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, an area I am familiar with and admire.Murder, torture, kinkiness, incest - all kinds of hardcore subjects are brought up in this book so be forewarned.THE NIGHT CREW is a hard book to read. It very vividly describes the torture and atrocities against Arab prisoners of war in a vastly overcrowded, understaffed prison.NOTE: I received a free advance copy of this book from Thomas & Mercer via NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.

Very Mixed Feelings By Hatter I loved Brian Haig's first two books (Secret Sanction & Mortal Allies), enjoyed the rest of his Sean Drummond books, but never managed to finish any of his non-Drummond books. This book begins as a cross between the first two books (a government cover up of war crimes and a conflict between Drummond and his co-counsel who is more interested in advancing her cause than in protecting her client) and for the first half of the book I kept experiencing an unsatisfactory feeling of deja vue. The book eventually develops its own character, but Drummond is never as snarky in this book as in previous books, and the tension of who done it, never felt as powerful or pressing to me.Sean Drummond is a character who verbalizes disrespect, arrogance, and independence, while his behavior screams Duty, Honor, and Country. I have always enjoyed the characterization of this complicated protagonist, and at the end of his previous books felt as if the good guys won. At the end of this book I felt as if there were no good guys, there were no winners, and the story was simply depressing. That may well be an accurate summation of the political maneuvering which helped produce the prison abuses of the Iraqi war, but it is not entertaining. I read fiction to be entertained, not to be depressed. This book was too short on entertainment, and too long on depressing reminders of what happens when idiots plan a war.
31 of 34 people found the following review helpful. Somewhat contrived By Christine McDowell This is kind of a fun read, but three things bothered me. First, the main character is a lawyer acting more as an investigator rather than a lawyer, and although investigation is often part of defense counsel's work, it is notT his or her job to solve the crime, but to represent the client. Second, many many "legal" things are misnamed and misunderstood. As a lawyer, I found this jarring and distracting. Examples: the co-defendants "corroborated" when they got together to plan their defense. Interviews were "interrogatories." "Counsel" was mistaken for "council." Ethical rules were misunderstood and misapplied (nothing prevents defense counsel from interviewing a witness unless that witness is represented by counsel). Ugh. Third, the female co-counsel disappears into nothing other than a relatively inactive, cranky-though-sexy love interest, even though she is initially described as both highly competent and passionate about her work.
