      When forensic anthropologist Bill Brockton pulls a frozen body from a swimming pool in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, it sets him on a twisted path. Tom Stechschulte begins the story with a lively, joking tone that captures Brockton's good nature and his close relationship with his colleagues. Quickly, Stechschulte's tone shifts to gravity and fear when Brockton discovers his victim, a Manhattan Project scientist with secrets, and realizes that he has died from swallowing a radioactive pellet. Stechschulte makes Brockton fully dimensional with a variety of credible emotions, and his secondary characters help establish a sense of place. As the details surrounding present and past murders merge, Stechschulte expresses Brockton's determination to connect and solve them. S.W. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

      In bestseller Bass’s average fourth forensic thriller to feature Dr. Bill Brockton (after The Devil’s Bones
      ), a frozen corpse found in a lake near the Oak Ridge, Tenn., nuclear research facility turns out to be that of Dr. Leonard Novak, one of the leaders of the Manhattan Project, the secret government program to build the first atomic bomb during WWII. When the source of death, potent radioactive material the old man somehow ingested, poisons the local medical examiner, Brockton’s inquiry takes on added urgency. After meeting Novak’s ex-wife at his funeral, Brockton wonders if there might be a link between the present-day murder and long-forgotten events; with the aid of an attractive local librarian, he starts to dig into Oak Ridge’s past. Given the small pool of suspects, many readers will guess the killer’s identity before it’s revealed. Those looking for a more evocative portrait of the paranoid atmosphere surrounding the Manhattan Project should seek out Joseph Kanon’s Los Alamos
      .
