Los Alamos: A Novel

Set in the secretive, feverish world of the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos in 1945, this Edgar Award-winning debut by Joseph Kanon blends a taut murder mystery with the moral weight of history. When a security officer is killed, investigator Michael Connolly arrives to find a community of brilliant minds, restless wives, and hidden tensions - and soon discovers that the greatest secrets aren't only about the bomb. Kanon's prose is both thrilling and deeply humane, capturing the hope and horror of a moment that changed everything.

Condition: Good - The cover shows visible edge wear, corner rubbing, and some surface scuffing consistent with a well-read copy.
