"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."

" This is the best of the series so far, in my humble opinion. Not only is there a good mystery murder plot, there is a wealth of information on the Manhattan Project and insights into many facets of FBI and detective work. Loved it. "
