Nucleus - Rory Clements

WINNER OF THE CWA HISTORICAL DAGGER 2018. The eve of war: a secret so deadly, nothing and no one is safeJune
1939. England is partying like there's no tomorrow . . . but the good
times won't last. The Nazis have invaded
Czechoslovakia, in Germany
Jewish persecution is widespread and, closer to home, the IRA has
embarked on a bombing campaign.Perhaps most worryingly of all,
in Germany
Otto Hahn has produced man-made fission and an atomic
device
is now
possible. German High Command knows Cambridge's
Cavendish
Laboratory is
also close, and when one of the Cavendish's
finest brains
is murdered,
Professor Tom Wilde is drawn into the
investigation. In a conspiracy that stretches from Cambridge to Berlin,
and from the US to
Ireland, can he discover the truth before it's too
late?
