Within hours of the bombing of the Moriah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, on April 19, 1995, the FBI had evidence pointing to Iraqi and Islamic extremist. But incredibly, federal authorities quickly squelched all investigations implicating Middle Eastern suspects.

Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were convicted - but what about the third terrorist?

In this electrifying new book, award-winning investigative reporter Jayna Davis shows a gripping and intensely personal account of her arrival on the scene thirteen minutes after the blast, the worldwide search for suspects and the abrupt and unexplained abandonment of the manhunt for John Doe #2. Did he even exist? Eyewitnesses assured Davis that he did - identifying him down to the distinctive tattoo on his arm - and his Middle East connections led directly to Saddam Hussain's elite fighting forces, the Republican Guard. But the Justice Department never pursued the hard evidence linking McVeigh to foreign terrorists.

Stonewalled by officials, Davis followed her own leads into an activated terrorist cell on U.S. soil, high-level intelligence sources and classified government links. What she uncovered rivals the plot of a spy novel and in the shocking truth every American has the right to know.
