I've had an ebook out for about a month and I'm not happy with the product description on Amazon. That is, it's been (deservedly) pummeled.

BLURB:
Forensic geologists Cassie Oldfield and Walter Shaws embark on their riskiest assignment yet—finding hijacked radioactive material that is hotter than the desert in August.
The terrorist who stole the lethal toxins intends to release them in America’s most fragile national park, Death Valley. But he is furious to learn that he’s left a trail in minerals that the two geologists can follow. He vows to stop them.
Cassie and Walter make their own stubborn vow: their life’s work is of the earth and they won’t let this perp contaminate it. But as the hunt turns dangerous, they are sorely tested. They traverse scorching desert and contend with human malice and, most unsettling, try to protect themselves from a danger that can be neither seen nor smelled nor touched.
They begin to believe, as a radworker warns them, that the unstable atom is governed by Murphy’s Law: whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.
And it does
