The lightning rod / Brad Meltzer.

Meltzer, Brad, (author.).

Summary:

Mortician "Zig" Zigarowski, while working on the body of a successful military man, discovers something he was never meant to see, and, to get the answers he needs, sets out to find military artist Nola Brown--a search that reveals one of the U.S. government's most intensely guarded secrets.
When Archie Mint is killed while trying to stop a robbery in his own home, his family learns that his life, so perfect on the surface, held criminal secrets none of them could have imagined. Working on Mint's body, mortician "Zig" Zigarowski discovers a telling detail that 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 and Sergeant First Class Nola Brown. Two years ago Nola saved Zig's life-- he knows that she's volatile and dangerous. In order to track her down, Zig teams with Nola's long missing brother. They discover an undisclosed military facility that dates back to the Cold War... and holds the key to a hidden group willing to compromise the very safety and security of America itself.-- adapted from jacket
