β¦ Synopsis
**One man sees an atomic apocalypse comingβand tries to warn the worldβin this novel with "a sly, Hitchcockian touch"**from an Edgar Award finalist (Publishers Weekly).
High on a mesa in the mountains of New Mexico, a small town hides a dreadful secret. On a morning very soon there will be an accident that triggers a terrible chain reaction, and the world we know will be wiped out.
James Oberhelm, a reporter at Los Alamos National Laboratory, already sees the devastation, like the skin torn off a moment that is yet to be.

A massive bomb is ticking beneath the sands of the Southwest, and time is running out to send a warning....
