In a world of covert operations and hidden truths, The Malingerer unravels the complex and gripping journey of a man whose life has been defined by secrets and sacrifice. Jackson Duvall, a man deeply entangled in the shadows of his own making, finds his world shattered by the loss of his wife and a rift with his children. The facade of duty and patriotism that once drove him now seems hollow as he faces the consequences of his hidden past.

As Jackson wrestles with his own demons and the disapproval of his sons, the boundaries between loyalty, morality, and family are tested. When his past catches up with him, revealing long-buried secrets, Jackson must confront the very ideals that shaped his life.

In the poignant epilogue, Jackson's sons-Thaddeus, a devout priest, and Copeland, a disillusioned activist-come to terms with their father's legacy, forced to reconcile their own beliefs with the man they thought they knew.

The Malingerer is a masterful exploration of duty, redemption, and the unspoken sacrifices that define our lives. With its intricate narrative and emotional depth, this book challenges readers to question what lies beneath the surface of devotion and the true cost of living a life shrouded in secrecy.

For fans of complex characters, historical intrigue, and emotional depth, The Malingerer is an unforgettable read that will stay with you long after the final page.
