SPRING. 1942. New York City. NYPD detectives hunt for a notorious burglar terrorizing Manhattan's Upper East Side. In Germany, Nazi spymaster Admiral Wilhelm Canaris hatches a devious plan to stop America's war effort and bring America to its knees.
The FBI's New York office knows something is brewing, but doesn't know what it is. Their search for an unseen saboteur clashes with the NYPD's hunt for the burglar, entangling the cops in a Nazi plot that could change the course of the war. Unsolved in 1942, the case is reopened years later, with unexpected consequences.
Timed Bomb pays homage to Frederick Forsyth's The Day of the Jackal and Robert Harris's Enigma. It's a thrilling adventure of what might have been the real story behind the actual Nazi landing on New York's Long Island's shore in 1942.
