Summary

"BERLIN, 1938 Austrian physicist Dr. Hannah Weiss is on the verge of the greatest scientific triumph of the twentieth century -- splitting the atom. She understands that the energy released by this discovery can power entire cities or destroy them. Hannah believes her work could secure an end to future wars, but because she is a Jewish woman living under the harsh rule of the Third Reich, her research is belittled, overlooked, and eventually stolen by her German colleagues. Faced with an impossible choice, Hannah must decide what she is willing to sacrifice in pursuit of science's greatest achievement. NEW MEXICO, 1945 Wounded and battered after the liberation of Paris, Major Jack Delaney arrives in the New Mexican desert with a mission: to catch a spy. Someone in the top secret nuclear lab at Los Alamos has been leaking encoded equations to Hitler's scientists. Chief among Jack's suspects is the brilliant and mysterious Hannah Weiss, an exiled physicist lending her talent to J. Robert Oppenheimer's mission. All signs point to Hannah as the traitor, but over three days of interrogation as he filters her lies from the truth, Jack will realize they have more in common than either one bargained for."--, Provided by publisher
