Аннотация

When The Balance Of World Power Is At Stake, The Fight For control could be explosive.
In the last days of WW II, three high-ranking Nazi intelligence officers meet as the Third Reich collapses around them. Their objective: to retrieve their most valuable asset, Die Wespe, a spy buried deep in the Manhattan Project. The man chosen for this desperate mission has no connection whatsoever to Germany's shattered intelligence networks. He is American born, Harvard educated, and a ruthless killer. His name is Alexander Braun.
British Intelligence learns of the Nazi plan. Unable to convince their American counterparts of the magnitude of the threat, they dispatch their top investigator, Major Michael Thatcher, to track down Braun.
The trail leads to Rhode Island, where a young heiress named Lydia Cole has unwittingly taken Braun back into her life. Braun is forced to run, and there is only one place to go — Los Alamos, New Mexico, home of the Manhattan Project.
On July 16, 1945, the world's first atomic bomb is tested — code named Trinity. In the days that follow, four people: a tenacious British investigator, a determined young woman, a killer, and the spy who could compromise America's greatest scientific endeavor, will have a fateful rendezvous, all vying for control of the secret that will shape the world.
A sweeping tale of international espionage set against the backdrop of WW II, Stealing Trinity is a masterfully paced and meticulously crafted thriller that spans the globe and unfolds at lightning speed. From Berlin, to England, to the quiet leisure of Newport, Rhode Island, to the desert wastelands of New Mexico, to the middle of the Pacific, Stealing Trinity is a brisk and expansive tale.
