Book Review of Los Alamos

Los Alamos

Kanon plants a murder mystery in the middle of the team of scientists building an atomic bomb in New Mexico during World War II. Historical characters such as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Gen. Leslie Groves interact with fictional characters as one man works to solve the crime. This is one of three Joseph Kanon books I can highly recommend. The others are "The Prodigal Spy" and "The Good German."
