In the last days of WWII, the Third Reich makes a desperate
grab to retrieve its most valuable asset, Die Wespe, a spy
buried deep in the Manhattan Project. The man chosen for
this mission is Alexander Braun---American born, Harvard
educated, and a ruthless killer.

British Intelligence learns
of the Nazi plan. Unable to convince their American
counterparts of the magnitude of the threat, they dispatch
Major Michael Thatcher to track down Braun.

The trail leads
to Rhode Island, where Lydia Cole, a young heiress, has
unwittingly taken Braun back into her life. Braun is forced
to run, and there is one place where he must go--Los
Alamos, home of the Manhattan Project.

On July 16, 1945,
the world's first atomic bomb is tested - code named
Trinity. In the days that follow, four people - a tenacious
British investigator, a determined young woman, a killer,
and the spy who could compromise America's greatest
scientific endeavor - will have a fateful rendezvous, all
vying for control of the secret that will shape the world.
