Synopsis

The Battery sits at the tip of Manhattan and over the course of four centuries it has served as a fort, a haven for newly arriving immigrants and a refuge from city life for harried New Yorkers. On September 11th 2001 it would become the focal point for a maritime evacuation that rivaled the British efforts at Dunkirk in 1940. During the course of that day, an obscure homicide would later compel an NYPD detective to find the murderer of his partner in New York subway tunnel. The result of this investigation would shock many and would illuminate a root cause of the 911 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center Towers.

About this title

About the Author

This is the fourth book by R. Scott Morris and his third novel. Others include: Circadian Rhythm, Whaling City and The Line, Doyles Revenge. Scott enjoyed a 30-year career as a research chemist and during that time he authored hundreds of technical proposals and many journal papers and patent disclosures. For that reason, it has been exceedingly difficult for him to break from the standard Germanic writing style that is most prevalent in scientific writing. Therefore, apologizes if you find his writing to be too pedantic. He splits his time between Oregon and Texas with Carole, his very patient wife of 42 year, whom he loves deeply and hopes that these written sentiments will be rewarded with yet another of her delicious dinners.
