From a fatal fall to Nazi secrets buried in time

What begins with a woman’s fatal fall quickly unravels into a far-reaching puzzle of buried secrets, stolen histories, and fatal legacies. When Sri witnesses a model plunge from her balcony, she suspects more than tragedy. With Neil and Matt at her side, she follows a trail that winds back through Nazi Germany’s darkest ambitions and forward into a present-day conspiracy that refuses to stay hidden.

At the story’s heart lies nuclear fission: the scientific breakthrough that reshaped the twentieth century. From Lise Meitner’s escape from Nazi persecution to Einstein’s quiet retreat at Caputh, history bleeds into the present, pulling the trio into places marked by both genius and horror — including the haunting grounds of Sachsenhausen. Each clue uncovers not just espionage, but echoes of human brilliance, resilience, and betrayal.

Chain Reaction is both a modern thriller and a dialogue with history. It’s about the dangers that resurface when secrets remain buried, and about the ties — scientific, political, and personal — that bind generations together. Racing toward a cliffhanger both literal and emotional, this second installment raises the stakes for the trio in every sense.
