To Die in Livermore, Luke Ryder #7

A MURDERED SCIENTIST. A STOLEN SECRET. A DEADLY GAME OF ESPIONAGE WHERE EVERY MOVE COULD BE FATAL.

When a nuclear physicist connected to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is found dead after a late-night robbery, Kentucky Deputy Sheriff Luke Ryder is called west to assist an FBI task force investigating what appears to be far more than a simple homicide.

As evidence mounts, Luke, FBI Agent Rita Reynolds, and Livermore Detective Tibor Miklos uncover signs of an international espionage operation reaching from California’s wine country to the highest levels of foreign intelligence. Chinese spies, ruthless drug cartel operatives, and hidden agendas collide in a dangerous race to obtain classified technology with the power to reshape the future.

Haunted by his past and increasingly dependent on the adrenaline rush that danger provides, Luke finds himself drawn deeper into a deadly cat-and-mouse game where allies conceal secrets, enemies strike from the shadows, and trust can be a fatal mistake. 

As bodies fall and the conspiracy widens, Luke must determine who is hunting whom, and whether he can survive long enough to uncover the truth.

Will Luke expose the spies behind the stolen secrets, or will the deadly forces gathering in Livermore finally claim their revenge?
