Meer over het boek

After a long night in the cab of a truck hauling bullets, Jack Widow stops in a small northeastern California town dominated by a small arms manufacturer and a nearly forgotten Marine base. Seeking peace, he enters a diner for coffee but feels uneasy about a Marine in another booth. Despite Widow's attempts to engage, the Marine remains silent. After leaving the diner and heading to a motel, Widow is soon confronted by military police, who have questions about his interaction with the Marine officer. They reveal that after their encounter, the Marine returned to base and killed five fellow Marines before taking his own life. Amid rising tensions surrounding Muslim extremists, gun control, and police culture, authorities suspect that Marine Officer James Muhammad Turik was linked to an ISIS cell, while local townspeople and politicians shift blame onto Muslims and firearms. The media sensationalizes the tragedy for headlines. Determined to uncover the truth, Jack Widow digs beneath the surface, revealing dark secrets that lie hidden in the community.
