Description

Marine architect Hannah Bryson has landed the assignment of a lifetime, in this post–Cold War thriller (the first collaboration between Iris Johansen and her Edgar Award–winning son Roy Johansen). A U.S. maritime museum has just acquired the former pride of the Soviet fleet, the nuclear attack sub Silent Thunder. Hannah and her brother Connor are to inspect every inch of the decommissioned vessel to make sure it's safe for the visiting public. But immediately after Connor discovers a set of mysterious symbols, a deadly explosion occurs, and Hannah must risk teaming up with a merciless Russian operative to uncover the sub's secrets, and who is trying to protect them. "Working alone on the sub in a Maine harbor, the two make a strange discovery that's swiftly followed by a deadly attack. Others, both Russian and American, want what the Brysons have uncovered and will stop at nothing to obtain it. One Russian, Nicolas Kirov, has a special interest in the submarine as well as a growing interest in the feisty, beautiful Hannah. The constantly bickering Hannah and Kirov are forced to work together for a common goal as they fight various enemies and, of course, fall in love."—Publishers Weekly "Johansen's collaboration with her crime-novelist son imbues their saga with muscular characters and a brisk immediacy that keep it gripping and relevant."—Booklist
