About the Book
Iowa native Ensign Peter Maxwell longs for action after two years of leading the Navy choir after being called up from the reserves following Pearl Harbor. He gets a new posting on the USS Liberty Hill, stationed at San Francisco’s Port Chicago, but his new captain has no respect for junior officers like Peter and even less for the African-Americans who make up his crew.
Despite tensions between captain and crew, a two-week shakedown cruise goes well. When the ship returns to San Francisco, however, Port Chicago is blown up and Liberty’s second in command is murdered. There is an enemy within, and Maxwell will do everything to stop him, including putting himself on the front line of danger.
PATRICK CULHANE is the pseudonym of MAX ALLAN COLLINS, the award-winning, bestselling author of three celebrated contemporary suspense series and four widely praised historical thrillers. He lives in Muscatine, Iowa.
RED SKY IN MORNING is based in part on Max Allan Collins’ own father’s WWII experiences.
