Revenge never ends, it only hides for awhile.

The woman in the image on the left is Mito Mitsui. She is the most successful entertainer in Japan; the wealthiest and the most powerful because she successfully invested in building Japan's corporations into global electronic giants. 

Her corporate reach is extensive from Senators to Presidents. Her family was destroyed by the atomic bomb at Hiroshima and she has devoted her life and fortune to getting revenge on America. A story of love, life and revenge all wrapped up in an immoral package of politics, murder and industrial power. 

After 40 years of planing, the story opens with her plan beginning to take shape in the senate chambers of America.

Hiroshima 2015.

Hiroshima, 1945—a city incinerated by nuclear attack, and the forge that creates a beautiful psychopath named Mito Mitsui, bent on ultimate revenge against America. What is born in these ashes will change the world forever.

Baltimore, Maryland, present day—a simple supply problem for fighter planes escalates into a much more deadly threat—fueled by an obsession spanning more than five decades. A Japanese keiretsu, formed in vengeance, is driven toward lethal conflict with the United States by Mito Mitsui—Japan’s most beloved performer for over fifty years. What she demands is equal destruction, and she holds a blackmail card that can’t be trumped.

David Dawson is back in this thriller, caught in the dangerous dance of revenge—holding the fate of America and the world in the balance. What starts as a seemingly innocuous supply problem with a small but vital electronic component for a fighter plane soon reveals a much larger, and more dangerous, vulnerability. America relies on foreign companies for the production of sensitive technology—and one of those companies belongs to a Japanese keiretsu, a business conglomerate brought into being by the white hot hate of a woman damaged beyond redemption by the fatal attack on Hiroshima.

The atomic bomb and worse is still around.

I started outlining An Unforgivable Act more than five years ago. It is first a story about revenge, the oldest, strongest and most deadly of human emotions. Second, it is a story about love. I recognize that love and revenge are not new story subjects and Shakespeare and every other author have already waxed on the electricity created by the intersection of these two charged emotions. However, I still find the subject fascinating, both historically and in my own personal life. For example, I still can not decide whether to turn the other cheek or not.

I have always been curious about the development and use of the Atomic bomb. It was a well kept secret. Vice-President Truman was not aware of its development until he became President. You can only imagine his surprise. He probably remarked, “We are developing a what?” I was a young boy in the 1950s when nuclear testing by both Russia and the United States was a competition to see which country could make the biggest nuclear weapon. The film world capitalized on the nuclear race and released many nuclear terror movies. I remember the film Dr. Strangelove, which caricatured all the nuclear development challenges. As a boy, missiles in mid-western silos, movies about nuclear wars and the purchase of fall-out shelters were common table topic debates. And now more than seventy years later, nuclear weapons are still a divisive discussion topic.
