The Missing Day

Art Cummings, the plant’s chief executive, while on his way home to celebrate his wedding anniversary, is hailed by a stranger who shoots him with a strong anesthetic. Cummings misses a whole day of his life during which a truckload of high-grade uranium being shipped from his plant is hijacked. Cummings, one of two people who knew about the shipment, can’t remember telling anyone about it. The local sheriff, though, is mighty suspicious: There was enough uranium in the truck to build half a nuclear bomb.

A nuclear research facility manager loses track of an entire day and must retrace what happened to figure out where his missing time went.

When he cannot account for a period in his life, the manager of a nuclear research facility must trace his steps to reclaim his missing day.
