About This Book

A solitary electronics research engineer suffers a catastrophic explosion in his trailer while working on sensitive missile-related gear, prompting Air Force security and the FBI to investigate. Agents reconstruct his secluded life, technical work, and links to a defense subcontractor as he lies in a hospital coma and briefly asks about a figure named Eddie. The inquiry exposes ambiguity over whether he is a spy or a counterspy, the dangers of advanced electronics, and the procedural friction among contractors, military security, and federal investigators as they try to determine what he knew and who targeted him.
