Books like Bones of Betrayal by Jefferson Bass


Dr. Bill Brockton, while conducting a nuclear‑terrorism drill, receives a cry for help from Oak Ridge, Tennessee – famously known as Atomic City for its Manhattan Project legacy. He and grad student Miranda Lovelady investigate a frozen body in a pool behind a historic hotel. The victim, Dr. Leonard Novak, a physicist who designed a plutonium reactor for the war, did not drown but died from intense radiation. As the duo delves into Novak’s life, they uncover a faded film roll and a 90‑year‑old ex‑wife, Beatrice, who offers unsettling memories of wartime secrecy. Brockton’s quest for truth intertwines forensic science, a decaying nuclear past, and a looming radiation threat that endangers everyone involved.
