Stepping from the borrowed CIA jet onto the runway of the German airbase, Doctor Kristin Hughes had just been thrown into a crime scene. Bosnian war criminal Zoran Savi and his terrorist cell had stolen a suitcase-sized Cold War era nuclear bomb from a stockpile of weapons at the airbase. It was a bomb that didn’t exist on most government lists. With the terrorist leader in custody and the remainder of his cell on the run, it’s left to Kristin Hughes, lead bomb technician for the Nuclear Emergency Search Team, to find the nuke before anyone decides to use it. Accompanied by her CIA bodyguard/assassin and a shadowy German commando, a Europe-wide quest begins to find the missing bomb. That mission gets thrown into chaos when Hughes gets abducted during a gun battle with terrorist cell members in the heart of The Hague. To what lengths will the group Hughes works for go for the safe return of the beautiful and talented scientist with a history of finding herself in troubling spots? And what about the missing nuclear weapon? In a high-stakes manhunt on an international playing field, it’s certain that many players are going to die before the game is over.
