THE CIA IS HUNTING FOR A MISSING NUCLEAR BOMB.

Meanwhile, the CIA are searching for a stolen thermonuclear device. Suddenly, Cooper's quest to find his friend becomes a journey to the heart of a chilling conspiracy. A journey that Cooper might not survive...

Reviews / Votes
Slam-bang mystery-action thriller. Rollins can tell a story all right * The Age * A white-knuckle read on a par with anything that James Patterson or Nelson DeMille might offer * Library Journal * A thumping good page-turner... takes off from page one and never lets up. A rollicking ride and Rollins has made the action as authentic as possible. Essential reading for any plane flight. Highly recommended * Sun Herald * Sucked me right in... punchy, Chandleresque wit... take this one to the beach and you'll leave with sunburn * Sydney Morning Herald *More details
