“One thing you learn in police work is how to wait. Now you, you hate to wait. You’d make coffee nervous.”
In the spring of 1945, as the war in Europe is coming to an end, a former police reporter turned Army intelligence agent named Mike Connolly arrives on the high mesa above Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Robert J. Oppenheimer and a team of scientists are rushing to finish their atomic bomb. A security man has been found battered to death, and Connolly’s job is to see if it is anything more than the sordid sex crime it appears to be.
Using a devilishly clever mixture of real and fictional characters, Kanon spins out a story that manages to be audacious, persuasive—and totally engrossing.
