Shadow of the Bomb by Robert Goldsborough

As the US enters WWII, a series of murders at the University of Chicago threatens a top-secret military research project in this historical noir.



Against the ominous backdrop of America's entry into World War II, the navy still reels from the devastation wreaked at Pearl Harbor and the crushing defeat of US ground troops in the Philippines.



On the home front, scientists working for Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago labor feverishly on a secret weapon that promises to reverse the fortunes of battle. However, sinister forces are at work on the outwardly serene Gothic campus, resulting in violent deaths.



While work grinds on in the shadowy catacombs beneath an abandoned football stadium--work that will forever alter our world--Chicago Tribune police reporter Steve "Snap" Malek delves into the intrigue. Battling for an exclusive story and, ultimately, for his very life, Malek finds himself in the midst of history-in-the-making.

Goldsborough, Robert (b. 1937) is a well-known American author who is best known for continuing Rex Stout's acclaimed Nero Wolfe series. He was born in Chicago and attended Northwestern University before going to work for the Associated Press after graduation, launching a long career in journalism that included stints at the Chicago Tribune and Advertising Age. Goldsborough began writing mysteries in the voice of Rex Stout, the creator of legendary detectives Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, while at the Tribune. Murder in E Minor (1986), Goldsborough's first novel featuring Wolfe, was praised by critics and fans alike, winning the Wolfe Pack's Nero Award.

Death on Deadline (1987) and Fade to Black (1990) were among the six novels that followed. Three Strikes You're Dead, the first in an original series starring Chicago Tribune reporter Snap Malek, was released by Goldsborough in 2005. His most recent work is Murder, Stage Left (2017).
