About This Book

A government investigator traces powerful, unexplained interference on a high-security communication band back to his rural hometown. He teams with a local policeman and follows technical leads that converge near the property of a reclusive, enigmatic resident whom townspeople distrust. An arson attack and simmering local hostility complicate the inquiry as the narrative shifts between signal analysis, fragments of memory and rumor, and hints of ambiguous, possibly nontechnical forces behind the disturbances.
