On July 16, 1945, the world's first atomic bomb is tested — code named Trinity. In the days that follow, four people: a tenacious British investigator, a determined young woman, a killer, and the German spy who could compromise America's greatest scientific endeavor, will have a fateful rendezvous, all vying for control of the secret that will shape the world.

Brisk and expansive, this solid spy story inspired New York Times bestselling author Gayle Lynds to endorse it by saying, "Richly characterized and beautifully written, Stealing Trinity by Ward Larsen is a compelling tale of hot adventure and cool spies in the nail-biting weeks before the close of World War II. If you enjoyed Eye of the Needle by Ken Follett, you'll love this book."

Did the cover need the swastika? Oceanview Publishing thought so, and I agreed because combining it with the atom makes such a clear and compelling image. The swastika is foggy, fading around the edges, enveloped in the white light of the nucleus, in control of immense atomic power. This scary concept is a new approach for using that old nazi insignia. Blue makes it cool (and not to be mistaken for the sun) which allows the hot-colored title to compete successfully for attention underneath. The power of the atom invades the title, shown by the white glow in "Stealing".
