About this ebook
Chicago, 1942. As World War II rages overseas, special agent Jimmy Nessheim has asked for extended leave from the FBI. Becoming a law student at the University of Chicago seems like the perfect way to re-enter civilian life. But the school is home to more than an erstwhile FBI agent. Deep under the stands at Staff Field, renowned scientist Enrico Fermi is beginning work on what will become known as the Manhattan Project—nuclear research that could not only change the course of the war, but the face of war itself. When the White House learns that a Nazi agent may have infiltrated Fermi’s staff, Nesshiem is perfectly placed to assist.
Persuaded to return to duty, Nessheim is on the hunt for a traitor who may already have access to the most important military secrets of the twentieth century. Almost simultaneously, Nessheim’s old flame Madison has found him in Chicago. But is her reappearance a coincidence? Drawn once again into a web of international intrigue, Nessheim faces his most deadly threat yet.
