Seven Grams of Lead, Keith Thompson

The news site RealStory, run by high profile blogger and investigative journalist Russell Thornton has broken some major coups in its time but Thornton is about to become his own headline.

A soviet scientist is dead and the while the media are busy blaming the Russians thereby jacking up the tension between Russia and the US, Thornton voices a different opinion causing someone high up to take a rather unusual interest in him. One of Thornton’s sources just got erased and he’s been turned into a walking transmitter. What Thornton discovers will bring a whole new meaning to the word ‘insider’ and what he doesn’t know is that he’s the only thing standing between a catastrophic attack that could wipe Washington DC off the map for good.
