Hot Potato by Marty Katz
The Berlin Wall comes down, and the world believes it is heading for peace. A secret sect within the Russian government created this illusion. America and the world are caught asleep at the wheel. Various plots crisscross with a common goal—the destruction of the United States. While not everyone is convinced, the plans are in place. An everyday police officer on patrol, Mark Schaffer, stumbles into the deep end of the Russian plot pool. He responds to a call on a ship in Port Everglades, and the floodgates are open to what is underneath the plot’s surface. The United States Military and the State Department are at odds with solutions. What is known is only the tip of the complicated iceberg of doom that awaits the United States. One final ploy, a Hail Mary attempt, is now about to unfold. The pieces are connected by accident, and there is a race to stop the end of America. All roads lead to that ship that Schaffer responded to for a typical police service call. The United States President and the Russian Premier are on a countdown to solve what is beyond their control. Could this happen, or is it happening now?
