'On September 11, we will destroy one of your cities with a nuclear weapon.'
A nuclear warhead disappears. A chilling broadcast follows. A country waits in fear. Yet the broadcast deceives. And, with the world's eyes fixed on America, the true target is dangerously exposed. Agent Brooke Chandler senses the decoy and raises his concern. His superiors are not prepared to listen. Unless he can convince them, one cataclysmic flash of light will signal a dark new dawn of civilization.'The Devil's Light demonstrates all Richard North Patterson's considerable narrative skills' Good Book Guide. * Good Book Guide *
