Submarines! Thriller!

Along the Connecticut coast, a psychopathic news photographer/killer moves unnoticed.
In Washington, a young, egotistical Defense beat reporter conceals a dirty secret of his own.
In New York's Westchester County, a promising high school cross-country runner is struck down.
And in Fort Griswold Bay, CT, an attractive shipyard PR lady gets help from an unexpected source.

This fast-moving fiction covers events leading up to
a mid-summer christening when Mystic, the Navy's most
advanced nuclear submarine, slides down the ways
at a century-old shipyard in the southeast corner of Connecticut.

Missouri journalist Peter K. Connolly gives this 374-page thriller a twist
that's sure to have the self-styled New England aristocracy asking questions.

"There's a lot happening here -- and anyone interested in 'Sub Culture' will find this book a fascinating read..."
