Synopsis

Written by Barbara Collins and Max Allan Collins. 1959: the height of the Cold War. Russian premier Nikita Khrushchev visits the US to see Disneyland - and Marilyn Monroe. Was Marilyn the only person aware of a plot to kill him? She rescues the Russian, spiriting him away for a midnight visit to the theme park he longs to see. Historical novel, espionage thriller and comic mystery, "Bombshell" brings to life the movie star and the Russian dictator as real people, flawed and in their own ways, heroic.
