"This searing mystery/drama with some lighthearted moments is set in a segregated Louisiana army camp during World War II. Vernon C. Waters, the sergeant of a black company, has been murdered. Captain Taylor, the white commanding officer, worries the murderer may be a white officer or the local Klan. Richard Davenport, a black captain, based in Washington D.C. is assigned to investigate. Taylor, fearing the assignment of a black investigator means the case is to be swept under the rug, attempts to discourage Davenport. But Davenport perseveres, discovering deep-seated divisions and disappointment among the men in the company. Despite all the challenges and setbacks, Davenport eventually solves the case, revealing a truth more shocking than the murder itself."
