When a Warning Siren Screams in the Desert Night,
the Worst Has Happened
After
turning out plutonium for the Cold War, the shuttered Hanford Nuclear
Facility's poisoned buildings may be a bigger risk than ever. The men
who guard the facility from sabotage or monitor its buildings are told
the dangers are under control. But then the worst happens--a thunderous
explosion in the dead of night.
Kieran Mullaney survived the
blast, but when threats and silence meet his attempts to discover what
really happened, he reconnects with an old friend--inexperienced lawyer
Emily Hart. Convinced Hanford is hiding something, they also realize
their case is sunk without more help.
Emily's estranged father,
Ryan, has the courtroom experience they need, but he's grown jaded and
weary of the profession. Still, it's a chance to rebuild ties to Emily,
and the deeper he digs, the stranger--and more dangerous--the case gets.
When I first got this book, I was excited to read it. I generally like crime-thrillers or any type of Christian thrillers or suspense. This type of book wasn't exactly my cup of tea. There was a lot of professional jargon that I didn't get. Maybe because I spend my time watching NCIS and other crime shows, I missed out on Judge Mathis and Judge Judy. I don't really get courtroom jargon.
So this book wasn't really that interesting after a few chapters, at least for me. I like the summary of the book, but reading it for yourself is different than summarizing a whole book.
