Publisher's summary

Sergeant Jo Barnes (Hilary Swank) and her elite, all-female US Army investigative team are renowned for cracking complex sex-crime cases within the military. Their latest mission takes them to the Mojave Desert at Fort Irwin Army Base in California, to unravel the mysterious disappearance of Private Nichelle Simmons—a soldier who accused a comrade of assault. But when the accused is inexplicably set free, their case takes a sinister turn.

As Jo, Maddie (Christine Ko), and Luna (Melonie Diaz) delve deeper, they encounter resistance at every turn. Facing a race against time, the trio is determined to uncover the truth at all costs, confronting dangerous adversaries who are capable of anything—even murder.

Coauthored by James Patterson and Duane Swierczynski, Zero Tolerance is a heart-stopping thriller.

if you have been in the army it is not good

It's like they took a civilian drama and forced it into an army stage. f you have been in the army it is not good.. the authors did no research into army etiquette and army communication. the army talks their own language. for example we all call each other by our last names and insubordination is not tolerated and privates don't take weapons with them on leave..the story is ok but the army interaction is terrible. like the private telling a criminal investigator they can't arrest him. not feasible. not likely. it would only mean more criminal citations.

Unrealistic

No research was done on army rank structure for chain of command. The mistakes are too many to list. A pre read by ANY military experienced person would have saved this story. Plot is good structure is terrible.

Falls Short.

As a veteran the story belongs in the civilian world. Since it’s not I found it tough to listen to.

High Energy Action

I completely enjoyed the special effects, the dialog and banter. Great performances. Edge of your seat action. Great short read!

Interesting but unrealistic

The authors clearly had no military experience. They did little or no research into the culture of the Army, it’s rank structure, or it’s protocols. CID investigation teams comprise military and civilian members. Team members do not come under the authority of local commanders, but they must adhere to standard military protocols. I can’t imagine an NCO being a lieutenant’s boss, nor being disrespectful to a general officer.

Being a former career Army officer, I am too disgusted to finish this story.

Enthralling with a twist

Great story with a twist you may it may not see coming but enjoyable nonetheless the less. Great cast. Hooks you pretty quick with an excellent cast of characters
