When thirteen-year-old Oz Keillor stumbles upon a dead body, his life is thrown into turmoil. His older brother is the prime suspect in the murder, and Oz learns that the crime may be tied to his father’s death years earlier—could his dad have been selling nuclear secrets to rogue governments?

With the fate—and livelihood—of his family in balance, it’s up to Oz to try and crack the case, with the help of his best friend, Rusty. It’s a quest that has more twists and turns than the dusty roads of New Mexico—and the resolution may be closer to home than Oz ever could have imagined.
