Memory and Desire by Philip Caputo cover

From the author of A Rumor of War and Some Rise By Sin, a tale of desire, betrayal, duty, and infidelity—and the explosive consequences of a buried passion.

“Caputo’s fluid yarn unspools at just the right pace, ultimately knitting together the themes of loyalty, betrayal, unbreakable bonds, and the lingering taste of a long-ago passion.” —Booklist
