В Ливерморе вышел новый детектив о серийном убийце и ракете на ядерном топливе

LIVERMORE — Livermore resident and award-winning author John Bluck has set his latest mystery about espionage, murder and a fusion-powered rocket in his hometown. “Murder in Livermore,” published this month by Rough Edges Press, is the seventh book in Bluck’s series about Kentucky Deputy Sheriff Luke Ryder. In “Murder in Livermore,” the FBI asks for Ryder’s help in investigating the murder of a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory engineer working on a national defense project. “I chose my hometown as the setting for this seventh volume of my Luke Ryder series because visualizing the story unfold in a familiar place was easy,” Bluck said. Bluck is a former tv news cameraman, Army journalist and public affairs officer for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). His first Luke Ryder novel, “Murder in the Hollar,” was published in 2021. Rachel Del Grosso, an editor with Rough Edges Press, noted that Bluck’s “background in journalism, the military and NASA comes through in the story (and) gives the book a real sense of authenticity.” “To Die in Livermore” is available in paperback and as an e-book.
