The Black Bullet
About
Glenda Lawson believes her husband was the only U.S. serviceman shot and killed on American soil during World War II. But in 1945, investigators ruled that Billy Lawson died in a "mugging turned ugly."
Decades later, Sean O'Brien is learning the ropes of commercial fishing when his anchor snags on something underwater—a German U-boat partially buried in sand. Inside is a frightening cargo that draws media attention and brings a woman with a haunting tale to O'Brien's door.
Her grandfather, Billy Lawson, was fishing on a Florida beach one night when he saw something disturbing. What he witnessed got him killed, and the truth was buried with the Manhattan Project.
Billy's granddaughter and his cancer-stricken widow are desperate for closure. To give it to them, O'Brien must pry open secrets tied to America's entry into the nuclear age—secrets that are inextricably knotted to his discovery at the bottom of the sea.
A gripping thriller in the internationally popular Sean O'Brien series—where World War II shadows reach into the present with deadly consequences.
Praise for this book
"This might have been the best novel I've read this year.
Loved the way everything tied together. Strong characters and heart story. Can't wait to read more Tom Lowe offerings."
"A nail-biter! Really good thriller with more twists than a mountain road, double agents by the car load, double dealing in spades, and just good action. The plot is good, well thought out, well executed. The writing is tight, not a wasted word. Sean is a new favorite character."
"The Black Bullet - five stars. This is a great series. The suspense is all the way till the very end. These are books you can't put down . I highly recommend this book and series."
