A Deadly Secret in America's Oil Country
In the remote plains of North Dakota, a hunter tracking a wounded wolf makes a gruesome discovery - a woman's body, surgically mutilated with professional precision. Her face peeled back, skull emptied, and chest bearing the Y-incision of an autopsy. Most disturbing? Not a drop of blood stains the prairie grass. This meticulously staged scene brings FBI special agents Amos Decker and Alex Jamison to London, North Dakota - a farming community transformed overnight by the fracking boom. The victim, Irene Cramer, lived a life of stark contrasts: teaching by day for a conservative religious group while working nights as an escort. Yet her bank accounts show none of the expected income from her nocturnal profession, and her background seems to materialize from thin air just eighteen months earlier. The investigation takes a sharp turn when Decker discovers the Douglas S. George Defense Complex - a heavily fortified Air Force station with a distinctive chopped-off pyramid architecture rising from the flat landscape. During a carefully orchestrated tour, Colonel Sumter explains they operate PARCS, a sophisticated radar network tracking nuclear weapons and orbital objects. But Decker's trained eye spots troubling inconsistencies: excessive security measures, electromagnetic pulse-hardened doors, and three fully-staffed medical response vehicles - unusual for a simple monitoring station. The trail leads to Evergreen Meadows nursing home where Cramer had worked under an alias as a physical therapist. There, she'd developed a close relationship with Bradley Daniels, a 93-year-old WWII veteran who served at the London Air Force Station during the Cold War. When questioned about Cramer, Daniels trembles visibly, repeatedly citing "national security protocols still in effect."
