Reason (Part One of The Arbiter Project Trilogy)

Elizabeth Lucas, the daughter of Senator Adam Lucas, is brutally murdered at the hands of a serial killer. Kenneth Davis Cobb is found standing over her dead body with a bloody knife in hand and is immediately taken into custody. The trial should be an open and shut case, but due to unknown influences it becomes anything but that. Meanwhile, German scientist Dr. Hans Richter is working on a top secret military project at a hidden Army base in Eastern New Mexico. After World War II, the top brass decided that the United States needed a new weapon for future conflicts. Bringing together some of the world's brightest scientific minds, the goal of the project initially dubbed "The Lazarus Project" is to bring fallen soldiers back to life right on the battlefield. The discoveries that Senator Lucas and Dr. Richter make both shocks them and inexplicably links them together in a high-stakes game of corruption and lies that extends to the highest levels of government.
