An elusive gang is terrorizing the city. Criminals kidnap well-known businessmen one after another and put collars filled with explosives on them. The dangerous device is equipped with a camera and communication, it cannot be removed or deceived, and the victim has no chance of salvation. If the businessman does not pay the bandits a ransom for his life, the explosion will tear his body to pieces. The police chief brings in the best detective on the case - the head of the homicide department, Lieutenant Troy Brown. To destroy the gang, the policeman will have to go through many trials: survive the death of his best friends, his own kidnapping and torture - and even try on a deadly collar. The novel "Blast Wave" is based on real events.
