The Complete Harry Voss Case Files Books 1–3
In this three-book box set:
BOOK 1: THE ADVOCATE
1943, England.
The unthinkable has a local spotter on the remote English coastline has witnessed American pilots, returning from a bombing run, turning their guns on one of their own. The victim and his plane are downed, and the spotter and his wife are the next targets.
What could cause decorated pilots to kill their brothers-in-arms and then viciously attack civilians they were meant to protect? For JAG Major Harry Voss, the investigation will become his personal war, igniting a series of revelations that detonate up the chain of command and threaten his career — and then his life.
BOOK 2: OFFICER OF THE COURT
JAG Major Harry Voss returns to the UK only to find himself swept up in a murder investigation. Lieutenant Armando Grassi has been shot in the back of the head and it’s up to Voss to figure out the who and the why. There is previous history between Voss and Grassi, having worked a case together that left good men dead, a woman destroyed, and justice undone. Could this case be linked to Grassi’s murder? Accompanied by an eclectic band of soldiers, with the threat of war and danger constantly over their heads, Voss must work together with this crew to survive the investigation — but will they uncover the truth before tensions drive them to the edge?
BOOK 3: A COLD AND DISTANT PLACE
Voss takes on a case that might be his toughest yet when he finds himself having to defend the boy he practically raised. Dominick Sisto is facing charges for desertion after failing to comply with an order to remain in position under fire. Desperate to prevent Sisto from being sent to military prison, Voss pulls together a last-minute research team to compile a defence. However, when hotshot ADA Leonard Courie seems set to stand in their way, Voss must risk everything or face losing Sisto for good.

IF ONLY WE REMEMBERED
The Harry Voss case files are the finest stories I have read in many years. The stories reminded me of the fact war isn't heroic but some of the people who have to fight them are. Kudos to Bill Mesce Jr. for so adroitly capturing the nobility of friendship and love in the pathos of war.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. It kept me in suspense as to what the next twist would lead. The author did an excellent job of describing the situation and locations. The characters were also very nicely fleshed out into believable personalities.

One of the very best WWII novels.
In my eighty-nine years, on this lonely planet, I’ve read and enjoyed many war novels. This is one of my ten best read.
It contains everything one would expect in a good novel, and then some! I will be,avidly, following this author.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a penchant for military history and WW2. Yes, this is a novel but it could well have been taken from the annals of world history. War is not as you find in the movies it is a terrible endeavor and the cost is extreme.
