Synopsis from Death Keeps a Secret
WHEN a young scientist—as handy with his fists as with electronics—sets
out for the government's top-secret rocket laboratories in New Mexico,
he runs foul of murder and espionage before he even sees the object of
his mission.
Four countries, including the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of
China, were to clash in a swift intrigue of blood and betrayal as their
keenest agents plotted the theft of this electronic marvel. Four
countries, four murders . . . and only one man to stand up to the most
ruthless spy ring ever.
To obtain background for this highly unusual mystery, the U.S.
Government allowed Mr. Kelland to visit the famous desert testing
grounds at White Sands, New Mexico, where to-morrow's miracles in
intercontinental missiles are being developed. Here is an eye-opening
story that moves with the roaring blaze of a rocket.
