The Rocket Man

Vienna, 1991. When an inspector working in the UN's nuclear watchdog agency apparently commits suicide, his widow is suspicious. She is supported by Katie Haynes, the wife of one of his colleagues. But Katie falls for a Russian scientist who also doubts the suicide verdict, and soon finds herself torn between her intense feelings for the enigmatic Dmitry Gavrilov and loyalty to her husband.

As the true implications of the death are revealed, links emerge with a German rocket scientist who is building a launching site in Paraguay. The lovers find themselves at odds and increasingly compromised, with a cross-continental chase taking them from the intrigue of Vienna to the wilderness at the heart of South America.
