Entertaining and philosophical, paints a picture of what it might have been like then but the mystery part of it was a little disappointing. Leads seemed to come out of nowhere by chance rather than cleverly leading from one to the next. ( ) An excellent, multi-layered mystery with a provacative bite. Investigating a murder, our lead character gets drawn into an an incestuous community of scientists driven to create an atomic bomb. "We have all learned to be monsters in this war." When the battle is joined, don't we risk becoming exactly what we suppose ourselves to be fighting? A thought-provoking and human exploration of moral choice. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The suspense novel for all others to beat . . . [a] must read.”—The Denver Post WINNER OF THE EDGAR AWARD FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL It is the spring of 1945, and in a dusty, remote community, the world’s most brilliant minds have come together in secret. Their mission: to split an atom and end a war. But among those who have come to Robert Oppenheimer ’s “enchanted campus” of foreign-born scientists, baffled guards, and restless wives is a simple man in search of a killer. Michael Connolly has been sent to the middle of nowhere to investigate the murder of a security officer on the Manhattan Project. But amid the glimmering cocktail parties and the staggering genius, Connolly will find more than he bargained for. Sleeping in a dead man’s bed and making love to another man’s wife, Connolly has entered the moral no-man’s-land of Los Alamos. For in this place of brilliance and discovery, hope and horror, Connolly is plunged into a shadowy war with a killer—as the world is about to be changed forever. Praise for Los Alamos “A magnificent work of fiction . . . a love story inside a murder mystery inside perhaps the most significant story of the twentieth century: the making of the atomic bomb.”—The Boston Globe “Compelling . . . [Joseph Kanon] pulls the reader into a historical drama of excitement and high moral seriousness.” —The New York Times “Thrilling . . . Kanon writes with the sure hand of a veteran and does a marvelous job.”—The Washington Post Book World . Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
