The West Tech Terrorist is a romance mystery novel. It is the fall of 1941 at Cleveland’s West Technical High School, one of the largest and most unique high schools in America. The United States is on the brink of World War II.
Victor Blazek, the sports editor of the West Tech school newspaper, suspects that a secret group of fellow students, who are Nazi sympathizers, plan to blow up a Cleveland defense plant. He enlists his girl friend, Doris, to help him uncover the plot. They fall in love while searching for clues in West Tech’s many vocational departments, everything from aircraft engine repair to horticulture to welding. But their attempt as amateur sleuths puts them in harm’s way. Will the surpise appearance of legendary crime fighter Eliot Ness save both them and the defense plant from destruction? Only the West Tech Terrorist knows for sure. (www.westtechterrorist.com)
