Description
Meet CIA operative Bill Estes -- a polyglot, a fixer, a man who freely risks everything to save everything. When he throws himself into the fray, he does so knowing that "the smallest margins can make the biggest difference."
When a nuclear catastrophe strikes an American naval vessel abroad, Estes and his FBI sidekick, Michelle Marsh, are sent to hunt down the source of the uranium used in the attack. Their search leads them to Konstantin Pavlovich -- a Russian national obsessed with nuclear gadgetry.
As Washington scrambles to respond, a chilling discovery is made: another device is out there -- this time on American soil.
With Pavlovich in prison, Estes knows the plot runs deeper. He suspects Iran's involvement in the attack, but his institutional paranoia suggests something even more insidious. Meanwhile, as Marsh delves further into Pavlovich's past, she reaches the paradoxical conclusion that he may be their only hope of averting a nuclear catastrophe.
Then comes the final ultimatum -- one that threatens the American presidency and gives new meaning to the concept of nuclear power.
Kirkus Reviews calls it a "superior thriller," adding that "DeGrandpre brings a sense of authenticity to this propulsive global thriller that spans decades and features far-flung locations.
"A must-read for fans of suspenseful, thought-provoking fiction." (findthisbest.com)
