About Death in Tomorrow’s Shadow
At secretive military electronics surveillance station in the Arctic Circle, a lowly fry cook, paradoxically the son of a wealthy and powerful politician, mysteriously dies. A victim of circumstances, FBI agent, Rhett Bradley, in the last month of his career, is hastily dispatched to investigate, to arrive ahead of a Siberian-spawned blizzard and a feared Washington, D.C. political storm.
Bradley must maneuver through guarded, secretive, and complex circumstances, periling his own life while contending with an egotistical FBI supervisor, paranoid intelligence agents, and petty criminals. His investigation must be conducted in an alien world of complex electronics systems, rigid security, restricted access, withheld information, contesting legal authorities, and contested law enforcement jurisdictions.
Bradley finds the most devious and distrustful of those surrounding the case are ranking bureaucrats and politicians of his own government and his DOJ chain of command.

Author Bio:
Whodunit? H. Melvin James is highly suspected of having the means, opportunity, and motive to write this novel. As with his previous epic novel, Tares among the Wheat, the author has again written from a wealth of personal knowledge and experience.
In this mystery, the victim’s body is discovered on an isolated USAF base where various military and government intelligence agencies are engaged in secretive compartmental operations. In composing this mystery, Mr. James drew from his personal experience in sensitive operations at such a time and place as the setting for this novel.
Having been actively involved in classified projects throughout his aerospace and defense industry career, engaged as electronics engineer and functional manager, Melvin was careful to avoid disclosing classified factual information, means, or methods. Nevertheless, because of Mr. James’s career knowledge and experience, the manuscript of this novel required screening by a federal government agency prior to being presented to the publisher.
After his career in aerospace and defense, Melvin and his wife returned home to rural north-central Oklahoma. On the ranch of his boyhood, Mr. James engineered and built an energy-efficient home of his personal architectural design, set on the edge of a wood to overlook a meadow in the direction of sunrise. There, the James raised Hereford beef cattle and American quarter horses before choosing to spend more of their time enjoying world travel, the performing arts, photography, and engaging in their own works of various arts and crafts, including his writing and her painting.
