Black Mountain Deception

Richard G Edwards

A huge new antenna is under construction atop Black Mountain, the highest point in Kentucky. The contractor is erecting four massive concrete columns upon which will be constructed a platform to support the large antenna, the purpose of which is to send and receive highly classified transmissions from various U.S. and foreign agencies. But is the whole thing a hoax? CIA sources receive word that a foreign government plans to launch a rocket from Harlan County, Kentucky with a nuclear warhead that will produce an electromagnetic pulse to cause thousands of deaths and injuries across the entire Eastern United States. Satellite data reveal that a Russian submarine transferred the warhead and one person to a fishing boat 75 miles off the coast of Maine, and then the boat took the two to its marina and from there to a waiting van that then traveled to Harlan County. A rocket capable of launching the warhead is discovered missing from NASA’s Wallops Island, Virginia facility. It too is traced to Harlan County. The President and his team send two federal agents to Harlan County to recruit Sheriff J. Bert Sterling and his deputies to find and destroy the rocket before its deadly launch planned for Thanksgiving Eve. This suspense novel incorporates lots of mountain humor and characters, including the Harlan County Sheriff’s Department’s feline mascot, Preacher Puss. The reader will enjoy tracking through the maze of deceptions that lead to the startling climax. One reviewer said, Quite a tale, with lots of suspense mixed with humor.
