Tensions in the Persian Gulf have been building for decades, senior officials inside government know Iran is nuclear capable. The nightmare scenario, a nuclear strike in the Gulf escalates into a global nuclear conflict as the major nuclear powers are forced to take sides. Saudi Arabia and Iran are engaged in a slowly escalating regional cold war, with occasional hot flashes. The intelligence community assures congress and executive branch officials, Saudi Arabia does not have a nuclear weapons program, a Gulf conflict will not go nuclear.
A brilliant and dedicated investigator is quietly digging in old classified files, he suspects Saudi Arabia had a nuclear weapons program many years ago. He travels with a colleague to the Arabian Peninsula; did Saudi try to go nuclear and if so, did they keep it going? Only a month after they finish their investigation, the world is shocked by the first atmospheric detonation of a nuclear weapon in more than fifty years. Chaos follows in the aftermath, whose bomb was it?

These clever patriots respond as they search for a strategy to avoid a regional or global nuclear conflict. The intriguing opening act in the Nuclear Proliferation Trilogy.
