Linus Owen is a young professor of conspiracy theory at a small
college just outside San Francisco. He teaches graduate-level
classes on JFK and gives seminars on magic-bullet theories and how
the symbols on the dollar bill reveal the presence of a secret
government that is leading the world to ruin.
Linus' marriage is foundering and his wife, Claudia, an
up-and-coming advertising executive, has gone to Chicago to visit
her mother. But if Claudia is in Chicago, how is it that two FBI
agents show up at Linus' office and inform him that Claudia has
been killed in a plane crash on her way from New York to Brazil?
And why did a man named Jeffrey Holden, the vice president of a
major pharmaceutical company, buy her ticket and die beside
her?
Enlisting the aid of Edward and Roy -- his friends and fellow
conspiracy theorists -- Linus heads across the country in search of
answers. Along the way, the trio encounters a legion of disturbing
and provocative characters and clues, including an irascible talk
show host, a mind-controlling drug, and an emerging link between
Claudia's ad agency and the U.S. government. As their journey
progresses, it becomes frighteningly clear that they've left the
realm of the academic and are tangled up in a dangerous,
multilayered cover-up. Finally, deep in the heart of the American
desert, stunned by an ominous revelation, Linus sees he has a new
mission: to try to stay alive.
With writing that is electric, whip-smart, and suspenseful at
each turn, Noah Hawley draws us into a deliciously labyrinthine
world of paranoia and plots.
