In the wake of a personal tragedy, the Hard Detective must hunt down a potential terrorist in this British mystery from the Edgar Award–nominated author.
Detective Superintendent Harriet Martens has always kept her family life separate from her work. But when tragedy strikes, that discipline becomes impossible to maintain. Her twin sons, Graham and Malcolm, both police officers in London's Notting Hill, are caught in the explosion of a terrorist's bomb. While Malcolm hangs on in a coma, Graham did not survive.

Overcome with grief, the only way for her to cope is continuing working. But her new assignment may have more to do with her son's death than it first appears. She's investigating the theft of an extremely potent herbicide. In the wrong hands, the substance could cause widespread havoc—destruction of the sort Harriet knows only too well.

One Man and His Bomb is the 6th book in the Harriet Martens Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

      British veteran Keating's less than riveting sixth Det. Supt. Harriet Martens procedural (after 2005's A Detective at Death's Door
      ) opens, literally, with a bang, but the plot remains tepid and the characters' mostly stoic response to personal tragedy feels bloodless. Martens and her husband are stunned when they learn that their twin sons, both constables for the Birchester police, have fallen victim to a terrorist's bomb—one is killed, the other is in critical condition. The super's boss, deciding that work will help her cope, gives Martens a sensitive solo assignment—to probe the theft of a genetically modified herbicide that could decimate Europe's agricultural crops. The fairly straightforward search for the thief will leave Keating's many fans hoping for a return to form in his next book.
