"This book is centered around Oak Ridge and the Manhattan Project in Tennessee. Although the beginning seems to be a typical murder/mystery written by Jefferson Bass, once you get into the main body of the novel there is nothing typical about it. I learned alot about World War II and the atomic bomb while reading this which surprised me. It was a very nice change of pace from the last few Jefferson Bass books that I have read."

— Peggy, 7/5/2013 -
" This one was the best book in the series so far. Informative, very descriptive (as per ususual) and surprisingly on topic. The conclusion came out of no where and I don't think anyone could have seen it coming. The very, very descriptive autopsy was...interesting...I could almost smell it! "
