The Paul Brenner series features a U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division agent who handles cases that the military would prefer stayed quiet. The General’s Daughter, published in 1992, is the best-known entry. Brenner investigates the murder of Captain Ann Campbell, daughter of a high-ranking general, and discovers that the truth behind her death involves the kind of institutional failure no one wants exposed.

Up Country sends Brenner to Vietnam decades after the war to investigate a decades-old murder, blending military thriller with travelogue. The Panther, which also appears in the John Corey series, connects the two storylines. The Brenner books are more overtly military in setting than DeMille’s other work, dealing directly with the Army’s internal politics and the moral gray areas of military justice.
