Når en jeger kommer over levningene av en kvinne på slettene i North Dakota blir FBI-konsulent Amos Decker sendt ut til åstedet sammen med kollegaen Alex Jamison. Det ser ut til at kvinnen har blitt utsatt for en obduksjon, lik slike en ser på TV - minus likhus, betongbord og kamera. Kvinnen viser seg å være Irene Cramer, og hennes mystiske fortid er grunnen til at FBI blir trukket inn i etterforskningen. Decker og Jamison befinner seg i en by preget av oljerikdom, sjalusi og rivalisering. Der finnes også London Air Force Station, et varslingssystem for atomangrep mot USA som kan vise seg å være nøkkelen i saken. Boken inngår i BS Engelsk Bestselgerabonnement. Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.

The number one bestselling author returns with a highly-charged thriller taking Amos Decker, who has proved one of his readers' favourite characters to date, on an action-packed investigation with all the trademark twists and turns which make David Baldacci one of the world's favourite storytellers.FBI consultant Amos Decker and his colleague, Alex Jamison, are summoned to the remote North Dakota Badlands when a hunter discovers the remains of a woman out on the Great Plains. She appears to have had a post-mortem performed on her, reminiscent of those seen on TV cop shows - but this time, there was no slab, morgue or camera in sight. The reason why Irene Cramer's murder merits an FBI investigation becomes rapidly clear when key questions surface about the woman's mysterious past. As a teacher at a school managed by a local male-run sect, the Anabaptists, little is known about who she really was or where she came from. What was her true identity? And what did she have to hide?Seeking information from the local community, Decker and Jamison observe the local town of London, North Dakota, which sits at the very heart of the fracking industry. Enriched with oil money, jealousy and a deep-set rivalry between its richest investors lie beneath a veneer of glitz and opulence.But it is the nearby 'eye in the sky', the London Air Force Station, which may hold the answers. Acting as an early warning system, it can detect a nuclear threat to the US. Was Irene Cramer's death connected in some way to the highly classified facility? When a mysterious government contact reaches out to assist their investigation, Decker realizes that this town holds secrets so explosive that their implications could destabilize the entire country ...
