Nick Horrigan was frightened away from his LA home when he was 17 years old, under threat of being arrested for murder, to Alaska, and now in his thirties, he’s back and leading a relatively quiet life in Los Angeles. But, as the old saying goes, you can’t escape the past. And now he is caught up in it. And somehow he has to chase it down.
A SWAT team bursts into his apartment one evening, ripping everything apart, then taking him to a nuclear power plant because someone who is threatening to explode a bomb there will only speak to Nick. Nick enters the plant and the person there hands him a key before being blown up. And that is the key to the mystery which Nick has to solve.
It is an excellently conceived story, written with an eye toward contemporary political intrigue and spin. It is engrossing and full of conspiracy leaving the reader to twist and turn, not only at the surprises, but pages, as quickly as possible. Recommended.
