A fast-paced, high-tech international suspense story-- In this thriller, the action moves through Central America, Switzerland, the Middle East, and the U.S.Antonio Cali de Cali, Colombia's most powerful narcotics boss who is carried away by his own fanaticism, has a solitary goal in mind: to bring the U.S. to its knees. His brilliant finance strategist Kenneth Custer, a CIA reject, is dispatched to Switzerland to purchase the very latest in weapons: suitcase-sized nuclear bombs. With these carry-on nukes, each of Hiroshima power, Call will terrorize the Americans and blackmail them into conceding complete freedom in the production and sale of drugs.Don Cali's next move is to employ Islamic fundamentalists, under the direction of Tehran's Colonel Fahimi, to execute a terrorist attack on the historic center of Philadelphia. This will be seen as a reprisal for the Gulf War. A charge of nuclear annihilation ammunition is to be hidden in the casing of a famous Swiss Clissot granite clock which is to be presented by the Swiss Ambassador to the city of Philadelphia on July 4. It will be set up somewhere around Independence Hall, perhaps adjacent to the Liberty Bell. The ceremony is set for nine o'clock on the evening of Independence Day, just as the traditional fireworks display is scheduled to begin.Meanwhile, the now-known double agent Custer's efforts at dispatching the carry-on bombs to Los Alamos for dismantling have been foiled, and the stunned White House Chief of Staff is being held hostage via video conference. Will Philadelphia be saved? Will it be the end of Cali and the drug cartel? The tension is real. Zero Philadelphia is a book to stay up late into the nightreading.An explosive spy novel... with incredibly dramatic action, an international conspiracy, and suspense to the last page. -- Top Ten List, Germany… (mehr)
