The Blue Water Protocol

When an unidentified man is found murdered outside Centerpoint, Nebraska, a fingerprint scan triggers a restricted federal alert-pulling Captain Cyrus "CG" Greene and the covert Homicide Response Command into a case no one wants solved. The victim is tied to the Russian Embassy, the evidence is shifting, and someone inside the system is steering the investigation away from the truth. What begins as a homicide becomes something far more dangerous. Some truths aren't hidden. They're buried.
