China Lake

Sidewinderâ€¦the deadly rattlesnake of the American Southwest gave its name to the first heat-seeking missile in the world, the greatest achievement of the top-secret US Naval Weapons Center in China Lake, California.

But in the early Sixties, Sidewinder had been betrayed to the Russians and David Harper, a brilliant young British scientist, was suspected of the leak â€” suspicions that destroyed his career and his marriage.

More than twenty years later, Jack Tannis, the man who led the original enquiry, receives a mysterious telephone call that revives the ghosts of the past.

Then the discovery of a dead body on the perimeter of the base leads Tannis reluctantly into a new investigation. And for David it seems that all that he loves may be in danger again.

Now in the burning emptiness of the Mojave desert, both men desperately try to solve a mystery that threatens once more a mystery whose terrible truths lie coiled and hidden in the vast wastes of China Lake.

A novel of military secrets, personal betrayals and mystical solutions, â€˜China Lakeâ€™ is an electrifying story, a thriller of the very first order.

â€œOne of the brightest, freshest new voices to appear in the international thriller business in a long time.â€ â€” USA TODAY
