Zig and Nola, 2

Archie Mint has led a charmed life, including a successful military career. When he's killed outside his own home, his family is shocked. Mint's charmed life held secrets none of them could have imagined. While working on Mint's body, mortician 'Zig' Zigarowski discovers something he was never meant to see. That telling detail leads him to Dover Air Force Base, where he uncovers Mint's involvement in a top secret military unit and his connection to military artist Nola Brown, someone as volatile and dangerous as a bolt of lightning. Following Nola's trail, he uncovers one of the U.S. government's most intensely guarded secrets--an undisclosed military facility that dates back to the Cold War and holds the key to something sinister: a hidden group willing to compromise the very safety and security of America itself
