Hurricane Irene caused thousands of coastal residents to flee inland and escape the storm’s carnage. Two of them ended up in the Smoky Mountain tourist town of Prospect, Tennessee. And then their car blew up. The bomb expert said they were the target of an assassin. One of the intended victims was a former New York Detective who had sent dozens of Russian mobsters to prison. But he also stole the wife of an NYPD bomb technician who just happens to have retired to Prospect. Chief Sam Jenkins enlists all his usual assistants to lay a trap and solve the attempted murder.
