Born and raised there, he left to join the Army, where he worked in Intelligence, deep in the shadows in far off places. Now he's back home, doing the same lawman's job his father once did, before his father started to develop dementia. All is relatively quiet in this corner of the world, until an old, retired FBI agent is found killed. He was brutally tortured before he was killed and clues at the scene point to a mystery dating back to the early days of the nuclear age. If that wasn't strange enough, a current FBI agent shows up to help Beck's investigation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a case that unfolds in the past (the 1950s) and the present, it seems that a Russian spy infiltrated the nuclear testing site and now someone is looking for that long-ago, all-but forgotten person, who holds the key to what happened then and to the deadly goings on now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Borgos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250848075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250848079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Minotaur Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2023 pg. 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2023 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2023","brand":"Bruce Borgos","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080044572927,"sku":"9781250848079","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa843740-1602-4b0d-a45b-12b02e57466d.jpg?v=1685484626","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bitter-past-bruce-borgos-9781250848079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
