Beskrivelse
"Checkmate is a fantastic first novel by a woman who knows the intricacies of Washington. Well worth the read...it will get your heart pumping." --Vince Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Act of Treason When Lt. Col. Hunt Daniels is detailed from the Pentagon to investigate an innovative cruise missile defense technology, he's surprised to discover that the technology actually works--and he's even more surprised to find that the technology's inventor, Dr. Cameron Talbot, is as beautiful as she is brilliant. But getting federal funding and support for Talbot's technology soon seems like a moot point. A disaster is brewing overseas: Militants in the disputed Kashmir region of India have stolen a series of missiles from sympathizers in the Pakistani military and have launched a first missile against India. And now the militants have sent one of their men to Washington, D.C. on a mission to steal Dr. Talbot's cruise missile defense technology--drawing Dr. Talbot and Lt. Col. Daniels into an international plot that threatens to escalate into a nuclear showdown.
