A Most Deadly Puzzle – Book Description

The novel tells how Florida Detective Frank Dugan discovers the existence of plans for the most devastating weapon of war ever conceived, plans that lie hidden somewhere in America. It becomes immediately evident to him, an Iraq War veteran, that whoever finds its covert formula could dominate every nation on the globe.

Frank Dugan’s grandfather was a Manhattan Project nuclear physicist with a closely guarded World War II secret, one that could change the future of mankind. Now, from the grave, he challenges his grandson to unravel the cryptic puzzle of what was labeled the “Operation Omega” and be responsible for its devastating power in the 21st Century.

Frank uncovers the plan when he inherits a house in a Baltimore suburb that once owned by his late grandfather. The detective has no idea that his exposure of the decades-old project and its frightening propaganda film will lead to murder, espionage, and powerful international interest that will have the former Marine battling for his life while he tries to save the world from its awesome, reborn potential, and solve the Omega project’s intricate riddle.

Enter Cezar Nicolai, a powerful international arms dealer, who joins the hunt and is determined to possess the weapon. No one, not even the United States government, can begin to match his wealth of cunning resources, nor his ruthlessness, but Frank Dugan has vowed to stop him and redeem his grandfather’s veneration. It’s a race to save civilization from a megalomaniacal monster, a deadly race to the death where there can be only one winner.
