The Cobalt Gamble: A Novel of Espionage and Survival

By C. A. Harper

When taxi driver Bill Saddler picks up a bleeding stranger fleeing through downtown Toronto, he thinks it's just another fare. He's wrong. The man is a CSIS agent, and the briefcase he's carrying contains evidence of a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of Canadian government.

Inside are cassette recordings of a radioactive device-Cobalt-60, lost at sea decades ago-being smuggled into Canada. Its destination: Toronto. Its target: the G20 summit, where world leaders will gather in forty-eight hours.
Bill has stumbled onto something that powerful people will kill to keep hidden. A Canadian voice on those tapes is facilitating the attack. Someone inside government is selling out their country. And Bill is the only person who knows the truth.

With time running out and operatives closing in, Bill must decide: destroy the evidence and walk away, or expose a conspiracy that will make him a target for the rest of his life.
In a world where one choice can change everything, Bill Saddler is about to learn that sometimes ordinary people are the only ones brave enough to do the extraordinary.

THE COBALT GAMBLE-where survival means risking everything.
