Code of Conduct (2007)
At thirty-three, Don Hawkins has spent the better
part of his life, in every sense, as a U.S. Marine. Enlisting to escape an
alcoholic father and stepmother, he became the unofficial leader of a
group of gay servicemen and women, all compelled to guard their sexual
identity as faithfully as they serve their country. But with newly
inaugurated President Clinton's promise to lift the ban on gays in the
military, Don is optimistic that a brighter era is dawning--and not just
politically.
Ten years now since his lover died in Beirut, Don is
finally ready to love again, and falls headlong for Patrick, a handsome
young helicopter pilot. As their relationship develops, Don lets his guard
down--in potentially dangerous ways. Because forces are at work in the
Naval Investigative Service, in Congress, and even in the bars and clubs
that Don views as his turf, with a vicious agenda that will have
unforeseen consequences...
Drawing on his own experiences as a Marine, Rich Merritt
has crafted an extraordinary story of love, loss, duty, betrayal, and
hope. Most of all, Code of Conduct is a deeply compelling exploration of
the power of loyalty--to friends, lovers, country, and the unwavering
dictates of our own hearts.
