In this suspense thriller, three groups race to find a missing nuclear bomb hidden somewhere in America. The Pentagon has been hiding a dirty little secret for forty years. As a result of mishaps and mid-air collisions during the Cold War, several live H-bombs were lost around the country . . . Pentagon weapons expert Howie Collyer was let go from his job in disgrace when he attempted to reveal the truth. After he learns from a nurse in a VA hospital that one of her patients remembers being the pilot on a B-52 plane that jettisoned a nuke, Collyer teams up with her to kidnap the man to lead them to it. When the Pentagon discovers Collyer is after the bomb, they move to stop him. But they are not alone. A terrorist sleeper cell that has been monitoring Collyer springs into action. A mad scramble ensues as the three parties race for nuke. Will the terrorists find it first and immolate half the Eastern Seaboard? Will the Pentagon succeed in putting a lid on their secret? Or will Howie Collyer expose the mess and vindicate himself? Inspired and written under the guidance of master storyteller, John Grisham, the plot of Sleeping Dogs takes amazing twists and turns before ending in an unexpected and spellbinding climax.
