一通の手紙が全米を恐怖に陥れた
A first-class letter - containing a single sheet of paper, on which is a diagram for making a nuclear bomb – is anonymously sent to an editor at the Daily Californian.
A political writer at The Washington Post has a message from a “Mr.Curly” awaiting him when he gets to work. Twelve hours later, presidential advisor Frank Curly is found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in a Washington.D.C. park. In his hotel room is a dead 15-years-old girl, spread eagle on the bed and naked, arm and leg tied to the bedposts.
Two men investigating seemingly diaparate mysteries on opposite coasts unknowingly share a common bond: the clues to a conspiracy that could reshape the structure of a nation and create a terrifying new world.
Meltdown’s themes of political intrigue and conspiracy reflect today’s political climate, a prescient observation given the successful Republican platform that empowered the Bush administration for much of its presidency.
