The General's Daughter is a 1992 novel by Nelson DeMille about a military investigation agent named Paul Brenner, who is put in charge of investigating the death of Ann Campbell, the daughter of a legendary general.

Summary from DeMille's official website:^[1]

Captain Ann Campbell is a West Point graduate, the daughter of legendary General "Fighting Joe" Campbell. She is the pride of Fort Hadley until, one morning, her body is found, naked and bound, on the firing range.

Paul Brenner is a member of the army's elite undercover investigative unit and the man in charge of this politically explosive case. Teamed with rape specialist Cynthia Sunhill, with whom he once had a tempestuous, doomed affair, Brenner is about to learn just how many people were sexually, emotionally, and dangerously involved with the army's "golden girl." And how the neatly pressed uniforms and honor codes of the military hide a corruption as rank as Ann Campbell's shocking secret life.

The novel's main protagonist, Paul Brenner, is also featured in DeMille's 2001 novel Up Country.

The novel was made into the 1999 movie The General's Daughter, starring John Travolta.
