Pages : 317
Book Description
It was the race for the bomb. America was at war a long way from home. Hitler's war machine was storming across Europe. Russia feared the German threat and secretly wanted to become a world power, more feared than it already was. All three nations knew that whoever split the atom and developed the Atomic Bomb first would rule the world. A stealth operation within the U. S. Government dispatched their man with no memory to Los Alamos where physicists, chemists, and scholars were frantically trying to build the bomb. Ambrose Lincoln was himself a human experiment, a man whose mind had been erased by electronic shock treatments because the rogue operation believed he could be more effective if he wasn't shackled by fears and memories of the past. It would be his duty to uncover and silence those who were stealing America's most vital secrets and selling them to Russia and Germany. If he fails the United States might well lose the war, and Lincoln finds himself embedded in a conspiracy of lies where nothing is as it seems to be.

Kelli “Gus” Gustafson, the youngest and most determined officer on the Tarpon Springs police force, has a problem most people would love to have: she’s beautiful.

Although she achieved the highest marksmanship score ever recorded at the Tampa police academy, her chief regards her as just another pretty face—until he unexpectedly promotes her to detective. Her new partner, Gordon “Gordo” Pruitt, is a crass but brilliant detective with the personality of an out of control dumpster fire. Immediately upon accepting her promotion, Gus and Gordo fall into the case of a lifetime. A sunken German U-boat is discovered just offshore of their touristy seaside town. Clues lead to the conclusion that a dangerous secret weapon created by Nazi scientists was placed aboard the U-boat during World War II. Now, the still deadly weapon has just been removed from the U-boat and is hidden somewhere in Tarpon Springs. To make matters worse, terrorists seeking the weapon appear and quickly prove they’re willing to do anything to attain it. Gus must figure out how to best work with her partner and leverage her world-class marksmanship skills to find the weapon and eliminate the bloodthirsty terrorists as the lives of all Americans hang in the balance.
