The lightning rod
When a Lieutenant Colonel is shot and killed outside his suburban home in an apparent attempted robbery, mortician Jim "Zig" Zigarowski is called in to work on the body. But Zig soon realizes more than one thing isn't quite right, the man suffered unusual injuries, and the funeral security guards are carrying submachine guns. What exactly was the Lt. Colonel involved in, and was robbery the real motive for the attack? More importantly, what is Sergeant First Class Nola Brown, a military artist, doing sneaking around at his funeral? Zig is shocked to see her, in fact, he hasn't seen her in two years, not since the night she saved his life. Zig owes a lot to Nola and will do anything to help her if she's in trouble, but she disappears before he can talk to her. Nola's not the only unexpected funeral guest though, her twin brother makes a surprise appearance, too. He's also intent on finding Nola, but why? And can he be trusted? Meanwhile, Nola is on a quest of her own to find out who and what is behind the Lt. Colonel's murder. He was part of a special forces unit she worked with on her first assignment years ago, and in the past week, two people from that unit have turned up dead. Now, Nola is determined to track down whoever is hunting them, and woe to anyone who tries to stand in her way.

Summary
The Lightning Rod CD : A Zig and Nola Novel
"Nola is the most accomplished kicker of ass since The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." --A. J. Finn Zig and Nola are back--in the hugely entertaining, highly anticipated follow-up to Brad Meltzer's #1 New York Times bestselling thriller The Escape Artist. What's the one secret no one knows about you? Archie Mint has a secret. He's led a charmed life--he's got a beautiful wife, two impressive kids, and a successful military career. But when he's killed while trying to stop a robbery in his own home, his family is shattered--and then shocked when the other shoe drops. Mint's been hiding criminal secrets none of them could have imagined. While working on Mint's body before his funeral, mortician "Zig" Zigarowski discovers something he was never meant to see. That telling detail leads him to Mint's former top secret military unit and his connection to artist Nola Brown. Two years ago, Nola saved Zig's life--so he knows better than most that she's 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 far more sinister: a hidden group willing to compromise the very safety and security of America itself. Trouble always finds her... She's the lightning rod.
