The Midas Bomb,
(2010)(The first book in the Detectives Castilblanco and Chen series)
A novel by Steven M Moore
The murders of a Wall Street broker and a Navy SEAL in Manhattan only miles and minutes apart seem unrelated, but Chen and Castilblanco, two NYPD homicide detectives, discover a connection.
As the strange cases merge and they chase down the killers, even with federal stonewalling, they uncover a terrorist plan to destroy two American icons and generate a financial crisis bigger than the implosion of 2008-2009. Hiding in the background are webs of international intrigue taken from today's post 9/11 world.
"This is where it all started," says author Moore, alluding to the mystery/suspense/thriller series now containing seven novels involving these two detectives. If you missed this first novel, now is the time to rectify the error and obtain some exciting and entertaining reading.
What reviewers said about the first edition of The Midas Bomb:
"...very well-written, action-packed thriller. The author quickly introduces some very interesting characters.... The plot is intriguing and thought provoking with many twists and turns along the way. I found myself wondering if something like this scenario could really happen?"
- Paul Johnson, for Readers' Favorite
"Midas Bomb is a thriller in the true sense of the word. It's a page turner that keeps you wanting to know what's going to happen next. There are plenty of references to modern politics and parallels to recent/current events to make the storyline believable and thought-provoking. Also appreciated are the quotes at the start of each chapter. They connect with the story, and I learned some new things."
