When FBI agent Chen begins to interview wannabe Youtube star Robbie DeFonte for his role in a domestic terrorist explosion in an abandoned psychiatric hospital that now is a windmill farm, she gets far more than she bargains for. Nothing is as it had seemed. Robbie is willing to tell all, but only on his terms and in his own time. Can there be any truth to what he says? As crazy as it all sounds, his grandfather did run the facilities for decades. And his grandmother, Cold Megan, is the only living eyewitness.

The case is not straightforward at all. It’s not just about the explosion or the white terrorist group’s determination to destroy the wind farm. It goes way back—all the way to the 1920s and how the facilities were used as clandestine arms storage. Even Franklin D. Roosevelt is involved.

“Windmill Bluff” by Michael Hartnett is a complex and compelling tale that pulled me in from the first page and kept me going until the end. Despite the somber theme of the book, the writing was the wittiest I’ve seen in a long, long time. I pushed ahead to finish because I really wanted to know the secrets Robbie was keeping, but I plan to reread the book again soon, and this time to savor every word. Many thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for an ARC of this incredible book. I can’t wait to read more by this author. My opinions are my own.
