Jake Ames, Chief of Police in small town Crescent, Oklahoma, is a professional lawman at the ragged end of his career when a terrorist on the Homeland Security watch lists drowns in the Cimarron River a few miles from where former Kerr-McGee whistleblower Karen Silkwood mysteriously died in a one-car accident. Forty pounds of plutonium disappeared about the same time from the now-defunct nuclear fuel plant overlooking the river. Jake is reluctantly drawn into the thirty-year-old ultimate cold case that opens during a tornado and sucks the characters into a maelstrom of theft, murder, deceit, passion and terror.
