defuse the bomb

June 27th, 6:48 PM, Tokyo.

A 24-year-old rookie female detective of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Explosive Ordnance Division (E.O.D.) races towards the designated location, following urgent orders from headquarters.

The radio crackles with repeated alerts: 40,000 pounds (18 tons) of dynamite have been stolen from multiple ammunition depots established by the Ministry of Defense to bolster Japan's defensive capabilities. The perpetrators are at large.

40,000 pounds of dynamite... a destructive force far surpassing the "Mother of All Bombs" (officially known as the Massive Ordnance Air Blast or MOAB) deployed by the U.S. Air Force in Afghanistan in 2017.

Amidst the chaos of an impending large-scale bomb threat, an unidentified call interrupts the police video conference: "I've planted a bomb in a downtown skyscraper. It will detonate at 4 AM, about 8 hours from now. Run if you don't want to die. Heheheh..." click
The timer attached to the massive amount of dynamite displays "07:53".

That familiar female voice... It's the internationally wanted terrorist known as "Tsaritsa Bomb" (Queen of Bombs), who shocked the world with a series of bombing attacks two years ago!

It was during that incident that the young detective's senior colleague from her student days, then working with Interpol, lost his life. This tragedy drove her to join the E.O.D.

Now, the same bomb-obsessed criminal is planning another attack, this time on Japanese soil, ready to claim more innocent lives.

With only 8 hours left on the clock, a high-stakes battle of wits is about to unfold between the young female detective, determined to defuse the bomb at all costs, and the ruthless, deranged bomber, equally resolved to see her diabolical plan through to its explosive conclusion...
