A passenger plane explodes during takeoff at Lockerbie Airport, then a similar explosion occurs in Frankfurt. The handwriting of the unknown terrorist is the same, but the cause of the explosion cannot be determined. FBI agent Cam Daggett, leading the investigation, manages to get on the trail of a cold-blooded killer who carefully plans these disasters. Circumstances are such that the confrontation between two strong personalities - an FBI agent and a criminal - has also deeply personal reasons... The action-packed novel “One Second Before the Explosion” by the American Ridley Pearson, as well as the novel “Angel of Death”, translated into Russian and published by the EKSMO publishing house, invariably occupied places on the bestseller list in the USA.< /p>
