Description
The setting is central Georgia. Across the state, dogwoods and azaleas are bursting forth in springtime splendor. Yet, threatening clouds are forming on the horizon. The FBI learns that international terrorists have slipped into the country, with a final destination of Atlanta. "Why Atlanta?" they ask. "And why Georgia?" The FBI enlists the support of local police and compiles a list of potential targets, including a nuclear sub base, the Center for Disease Control, a nuclear weapons facility, the Lockheed plant that's building the nation's next-generation jet fighter, and the Carter Center, where Middle-Eastern leaders will soon meet for peace talks. As the story unfolds, the reader glimpses the terrorists as they move toward their own D-Day. Related developments include the theft of a large truck that's suitable for delivering explosives, and the theft of a cache of ammonium nitrates. The story embraces a small-town law enforcement officer who displays savvy and intution as he helps derail this potential threat. It's a tale of action and intrigue, mixed with a generous portion of southern Americana.
