N1  - "A Body Farm novel"--Jacket
N2  - Body Farm founder Dr. Bill Brockton and his graduate assistant, Miranda Lovelady, are called to investigate a body discovered in Oak Ridge, a town better known as the home of the atomic bomb during World War II. The forensic detectives identify the victim as Dr. Leonard Novak, a renowned physicist and designer of a plutonium reactor integral to the Manhatten Project. They also discover that he died from a searing dose of radioactivity. Brockton enlists the help of a beautiful, enigmatic librarian as he seeks to peel back the layers of Novak's life to the secret at its core. The physicist's house and personal life yield few clues beyond a faded roll of undeveloped film, but everything changes when Brockton chances upon Novak's ninety-year-old ex-wife, Beatrice. Charming and utterly unreliable, she takes him on a trip back into Oak Ridge's wartime past, deep into the shadows of the nuclear race where things were not quite as they seemed
