| Synopsis: |
There is mystery under the threat of nuclear missiles. It is October 1962. Russian premier Nikita Khrushchev is threatening to launch nuclear missiles from Cuba if the U.S. attempts to stage an invasion there. The Kennedy White House has been facing down the Soviets, but the threat of nuclear holocaust has unsettled the heartland. In Black River Falls, popular candidate for governor, Ross Murdoch, is stocking up his newly built bomb shelter. It's the last place you'd expect to find a corpse, or so young lawyer, Sam McCain thinks. The discovery of glamorous, sexy - and now very dead - Karen Hastings is the start of Sam's investigation into blackmail and murder. But, with four well-respected pillars of the community as his prime suspects, whom can Sam trust? |
